“Human norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne disease. The retail food sector, including restaurants and catering establishments, is a common venue for these outbreaks. In this session, speakers will provide up-to-date information on norovirus outbreaks in restaurant settings and characteristics, policies, and practices that may increase or decrease the likelihood of an outbreak,” said Barbara VanRenterghem, Ph.D., Editorial Director, Food Safety Magazine and moderator of the session. “We look forward to hearing from our esteemed panelists who will provide the audience with the most up-to-date information available.”
