2025 JIFSAN Risk Analysis Program

JIFSAN once again delivered its Risk Analysis Program in 2025, offering CORE courses in-person, and an advanced course online. Traditionally held in the summer and known as the Summer Integrated Program (SIP), the program featured three CORE courses — Risk Management Essentials, Qualitative Risk Assessment, and Risk Communication — conducted in person from October 2–10, 2025, at the JIFSAN training location. The more advanced statistical course, Introduction to FDA-iRISK® and Quantitative Risk Assessment, was offered online in November.

Participants joined from Nigeria, Singapore, Japan, and across the United States, representing a wide range of professional roles — from senior government leadership and academic faculty to food safety scientists, biologists, regulatory affairs professionals, and researchers. This diversity across sectors and disciplines fostered energetic discussion and meaningful group engagement.
