Preface: Post-September 11, heightened concerns about the potential for intentional contamination of the food supply led IAFNS (ILSI N.A.) to sponsor a Workshop on Biological and Chemical Agents of Terrorism in Food, held December 12-13, 2001, in Washington, D.C. Organized by the ILSI N.A. technical committees on Food Microbiology and Food Toxicology and Safety Assessment, in partnership with the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the workshop was attended by some 150 invited participants representing government agencies, including the Department of Defense, and the food industry.
