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
At the slaughterhouses carcasses are often contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. End point carcass decontamination is found to be effective to reduce the number of bacteria on the carcasses and may improve food safety Attachment of bacteria to the carcass surface is the first step in contamination of the final food product, and understanding of the adherence and survival of bacteria in relation decontamtnation is essential for the development of effective decontamination methods.
