Consultative Group on Campylobacter and Salmonella in Chickens (CGCSC)
The CGCSC was established to ensure stakeholder involvement in the Agency's work on campylobacter and salmonella in chickens.
The group does not provide formal advice to the Agency, or have a decision-making role, but it does have an important role in contributing to technical discussions and providing support to the Agency as it works towards reducing these organisms in chickens.
All the major stakeholders in the chicken production chain are represented on the group including consumers, industry, vets and government officials. The group had been actively involved in the Agency's work to date and discussions with stakeholders have been extremely important as the Agency has developed its strategies for controlling campylobacter and salmonella.
