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
Control of Trichinella infection in U.S. pork has traditionally been accomplished by inspection of individual carcasses at slaughter or by post-slaughter processing. Declines in prevalence of this parasite in domestic swine during the last thirty years, coupled with improvements m pork production systems, allows pork safety to be documented at the farm level. We report here on a proposed on-farm Trich1nae Certification Program.
