	This interactive roundtable is intended to engender lively discussion of important topics in food safety.  It is assumed audience participants will have a basic understanding of the unresolved issues surrounding the topics in the roundtable. The session will cover three topics: “Should pasteurization of all raw ground meat and poultry be required prior to being offered for retail?”; “Is Clostridium difficile colitis a foodborne disease?”; “Should Listeria monocytogenes in low moisture foods be considered an adulterant?”  Each topic will include a 9-minute presentation in support of (PRO) followed by a 9-minute presentation in opposition of (CON) to the proposed question.  Each speaker will have 3 minutes for extemporaneous rebuttals. A 6-minute question/answer session will then follow to allow for audience participation. The session is intended to be informative, lively and humorous.
