Minutes
Members Present: Richelle Beverly, Stephenie Drake, Douglas Marshall, Marlene Janes, Peter Hibbard, Alfred Fain, Lorraine McIntyre, Kathleen Rajkowski and Yi-Cheng Su.
New Members Present: Matthew Turner, Maria Sanchez, Lawrence Goodridge, Amanda Lathrop and Chengchu Liu.
Board Member Present: Vicki Lewandowski.
Meeting Called to Order: 1:10 p.m.
Recording Secretary of Minutes: Stephenie Drake.
Old Business:
1. Election of Vice Chairperson. Kathleen Rajkowski was elected.
2. Minutes approved. Doug Marshall moved and Peter Hibbard seconded.
3. Marlene Janes read the anti-trust guidelines. 4. Vicki Lewandowski reminded the Seafood PDG members that the Professional Development Groups were formed as a means of networking with other scientists with similar interests. Furthermore, she recommended we develop other ideas for getting information across such as development of booklets or guidelines to be used by industry or consumers. Potential new methods to present research would be short symposium programs or roundtables, and applied topics.
New Business:
Symposiums ideas:
1. Kathleen Rajkowski submitted one symposium and one roundtable for consideration by the Seafood PDG. Roundtable: Consumer aspect with cooking in the home to reduce microbes in shellfish, finfish, shrimp and lobster. Symposium: Finfish safety: “From Fish to Table.” This symposium would cover the following issues: Farming for safety, harvesting and filleting, shipping and temperature abuse, safety at retail, and consumer concerns. Action: The Seafood group supported the Finfish symposium.
2. Peter Hibbard presented a symposium developed by Michael Roberson for consideration by the Seafood PDG: “Food Safety Control Strategies: Vibrio and Raw Oysters: Food Safety Control Strategies in Oysters with Vibrio. ” This symposium would cover the following issues: Vibrio diseases surveillance and trending, harvesting and manufacturing control strategies, retail control strategies, consumer advisory strategies, and public-private partnerships to reduce Vibrio infections. Action: The Seafood PDG thought it was too similar to this year’s symposium.
3. Short Symposium to be developed by Lorraine McIntyre and Lawrence Goodridge: “Seafood Safety A to Z: Pathogens, amines and mercury.” This symposium would cover the following issues: Virulence profiles in west and east coast isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus , the science of biogenic amines, heavy metal, antibiotic and chemical residues in seafood.
4. Roundtable to be developed by Doug Marshall and Peter Hibbard: “Seafood sustainablity and safety implications.” Geographic shifts.
Discussions: Lorraine McIntyre brought up the concerns about catfish imported from China with regards to toxins and ungutted fish sold to consumers by Indians. The PDG had a short discussion about these issues.
Also discussed was what groups we wanted to get information out to about seafood safety such as consumers and retail. How do we get this information to them? Some of the ideas included an online talk or Broadcast! Next year the Seafood PDG would like to have one of their presentations presented live online through a web cam directed at consumers. In addition, Larry Goodridge, Richelle Beverly and Marlene Janes will launch a Web site for the Seafood PDG that will have links to other Web sites for consumer and retail food safety.
Recommendations to Executive Board:
1. Scatter the meeting times for the PDGs.
2. Approve the election of Kathleen Rajkowski as Vice Chairperson.
Next Meeting Date: August 3, 2008.
Meeting Adjourned: 2:50 p.m.
Chairperson: Marlene Janes.
