The SafePork conference series began in 1996 to bring together international researchers, industry, and government agencies to discuss current Salmonella research and identify research needs pertaining to both pig and pork production. In subsequent years topics of research presented at these conferences expanded to include other chemical and biological hazards to pig and pork production.

Abstract
In 1993 an analysis indicated that Danish pig meat had a high content of salmonella. Therefore, the Federation of Danish Pig Producers and Slaughterhouses in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture agreed on a strategy to control salmonella in pork. One objective of this scheme was to control and eliminate transmission of salmonella from breeding and multiplier herds to production herds.
