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 subclinical Salmonella enterica infection in pigs is associated with public health problems and can constitute a hindrance towards national and international trade. Many countries are starting the implementation of Salmonella national surveillance programs in pork. In spite of the increase of available data on the subject, no consensus seems to exist when assessing Salmonella status of finishing pigs.
