國際食品微生物學(xué)與衛(wèi)生委員會于1953在羅馬召開的世界微生物大會(國際微生物協(xié)會-國際微生物學(xué)會聯(lián)合會或IIMS)大會上成立。
第一委員會是由以下成員選出的:Maurice Ingram和雷恩布蒂奧克斯(總裁),Betty Hobbs博士(大委員長),David Mossel教授(執(zhí)行秘書)。
最初的“使命宣言”是“在食品微生物學(xué)的特定領(lǐng)域中召集專家小組的小組,以達成關(guān)于該學(xué)科的主要興趣的共識文件”。NGress在羅馬。
ICFMH正式代表了與食品和飲料有關(guān)的所有問題的IOM,并且在糧農(nóng)組織和世界衛(wèi)生組織(例如法典食品)的活動中具有觀察員和/或咨詢地位,與食品和飲料中微生物的檢測和計數(shù)相關(guān)的ISO工作組。
由于國際微生物家族的新挑戰(zhàn)和變化,ICFMH逐漸成長為一個在食品微生物學(xué)領(lǐng)域具有國際活動的組織。特別是,前小型專題討論會和專家會議已發(fā)展成為目前被稱為雙年展(前三年)“食品微”會議,出席了大約600名參加者在世界各地。
ICFMH的主要范圍是通過組織會議(例如食品微)、專題討論會和講習(xí)班、國際食品微生物問題機構(gòu)的支持、出版物(例如國際食品雜志)來促進食品安全和控制食品腐敗。《微生物學(xué)》和食品微生物學(xué)教育和培訓(xùn)的開始。ICFMH特別關(guān)注發(fā)展中國家的食品安全形勢,對非洲局勢有特殊的使命。
History of the ICFMH
The International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene was founded at the IAMS World Congress on Microbiology in
A major development from the initial small-sized Symposia, large international ICFMH Meetings or congresses called FOOD MICRO are now being conducted every two years in different countries. Further information on these meetings and other activities is given under Activities and Events, and on the official “flagship” (The International Journal on Food Microbiology).

HISTORICAL KEY PERSONS
Tibor Deák
(1935-2013)
Tibor Deák
Professor Emeritus Dr. Tibor Deák microbiologist from Budapest, awarded by honorary doctorate from his Alma Mater, the University of Szeged, by Pro Facultate award from the University of Food Technology and Horticulture, by a Széchenyi Professorial Fellowship, and with the Knight Cross of the Republic of Hungary contributed to the area of food microbiology over 350 peer-reviewed publications, books, and chapters beside teaching in Hungary and abroad. He was an outstanding educator and internationally renowned food microbiologist, particularly as a specialist in yeast taxonomy, identification, and ecology. He earned his Ph.D. on The Microbiology of Lactic Acid Fermentation at

Prof. David A.A. Mossel
(1918-2004)
Prof. David A.A. Mossel
Prof. David Mossel was a founder member in 1953 of the International Committee for Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH). He devoted his life to improving the safety and keeping quality of food worldwide. His exceptional linguistic ability (he spoke English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, as well as his native Dutch), charm and skill as a teacher were huge assets in this task. In addition to his teaching, he published over 300 research papers and about 10 food microbiology textbooks. His overall theme can be summarised as “prevention of foodborne microbial diseases, and development of methods for validation and verification of the efficacy of inversion technologies”. The ICFMH was an organisation of particular importance to David, who was president for many years, until 1994, and then Honorary Vice President until his death. It was on his initiative that the International Journal of Food Microbiology was launched in 1984, and it has since become a highly successful and truly international journal. ICFMH sponsors international food microbiology symposia biennially. The latest, Food Micro 2004, was held in
