Guelph Food Safety Seminar Series

The Guelph Food Safety Seminars (GFSS) and annual symposium began in 2004 to provide a forum in which to share timely and pertinent food safety topics. The seminars bring together people who are interested in the risk management approach to food quality and safety, to discuss issues of common interest and broaden networks.
