Over the past years, foodborne viruses have been recognized among the top rated food safety priorities and have become one of the major concerns of the food industry. Although control measures for viruses are required throughout the food chain, there are still knowledge gaps in the understanding of the viral detection and the control strategies for the food industry with respect to the effectiveness of these controls and how to properly validate their performance. Research effort needs to be undertaken to understand the ecology, behaviour and transmission of foodborne viruses from the farm and to the consumer so that the most appropriate and effective control strategies can be applied.
