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
The Veneto Region, through Regional legislation (law DGR 20 16/2007), has authorised the sale of small quantities of processed foods (both animal- and non-animal-based) from "small local producers" directly to the consumer and has defined the hygienic requirements for the production and sale of these foods. The objective of the present analysis was to test for the presence of pathogens in samples of cured meats from small local producers and in faeces samples from the animals used to produce these foods, so as to determine whether or not the Regional legislation allows the objectives of the European legislation on food safety (Regulation 178/02 and 852/04) to be met.
