FAO/WHO Guidelines on Probiotics 10 Years Later

October 1 to 4, 2001, Cordoba, Argentina: on this date (and not in 2006, as incorrectly reported in several documents!)a group of experts convened that in that beautiful town for an Expert Consultation held jointly by the FAO and WHO to provide a scientific opinion on the matter of "probiotica". The FAO/WHO collaboration stemmed from a request made by the Argentinian Government to solve an international trade litigation on a powdered milk containing lactic acid bacteria defined as "probiotics".
