Food Safety Research Consortium Constructing the Analytical Tools for a Systems and Risk-Based Approach to Food Safety

چکیده
Important shifts have occurred over the past twenty years in how food safety experts in government and the private sector think about achieving food safety. These include the increasing use of risk analysis, especially risk assessment, in food safety decision making; a much-expanded focus on microbial hazards in the food supply; and a new emphasis on prevention of foodborne hazards and illnesses. These shifts are grounded in an improved understanding of the health consequences of foodborne hazards and their associated costs. They are also motivated by growing public demand for continuous improvement in the food safety performance of government, food producers, processors, retailers, and food service operators. New technologies are emerging that facilitate the enhancement of food safety.
