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 1953-1954 a severe Salmonella epidemic, involving almost 9000 people, occurred in Sweden. This event clearly demonstrated the need for a Salmonella control program. In 1961 the first governmental regulation concerning Salmonella control was implemented. A comprehensive description of the control program was presented at the International Course on Salmonella Control in Animal Production and Products (2). After joining the EEC some parts of the program were revised.
