RISK‐BASED APPROACH FOR FOOD SAFETY:Authorities perspective

Foodborne illnesses are prevalent in all parts of the world, and the cost in terms of human life and suffering is enormous. 

Contaminated food contributes to 1.5 billion cases of diarrhea in children each year, resulting in more than three million premature deaths, (according to WHO). 

Those deaths and illnesses are shared by both developed and developing nations.

Consumer costs include medical, legal, and other expenses, as well as absenteeism at work and school. 

Costs to national governments stem from increased medical expenses, outbreak investigations, food recalls, and loss of consumer confidence in the products. 

Foodborne diseases lead to increased demands on already overburdened healthcare systems in developing countries.

Regional diversity: due to differences in income level, diets, local conditions, and government infrastructures.

Changes in animal husbandry

Agricultural practices have contributed to the increased risks associated with fresh fruit and vegetables, such as the use of manure, chemical fertilizers, untreated sewage, or irrigation water containing pathogens. 

International trade allows for the rapid transfer of microorganisms from one country to another. 

The increased time between processing and consumption of food leads to additional opportunities for contamination and time/temperature abuse, increasing the risk of foodborne illness

New and unfamiliar food borne hazards can more easily reach consumers who have not developed immunities to those pathogens.

Advances in processing, preservation, packaging, shipping, and storage technologies bring new forms of foods to the market, and occasionally new hazards. 

The increase in travel: Persons exposed to a food borne illness in one country can expose others to the infection in a location thousands of kms from the original source.

In order to understand the nuances of this debate it is necessary to make the technical distinction between the terms ‘risk’ and ‘hazard’. 

Hazard ‐ A biological, chemical or physical agentin, or condition of, foodwith the potential to cause an adverse health effect. 

Risk ‐ A function of the probability of an adverse health effect and the severity of that effect, consequential to a hazard(s) in food. 

Muddled thinking can lead to believing, mistakenly, that the only way to reduce risk is to reduce or remove the hazard, when we can manage or reduce risk by leaving the hazard unchanged but controlling or reducing its exposure.

Risk ranking is motivated by the hypothesis that

If the relative risks associated to a range of food products can be established, then risk reduction efforts can be directed at the worst ranked food products. 

Food products at high risk are likely to have more and larger opportunities for risk reduction than food products at low risk

New metrics are consistent with to the central principles of the SPS Agreement: harmonization, equivalence, appropriate level of protection (ALOP), risk assessment, regional conditions and transparency

ALOP: is the level of protection deemed appropriate by the WTO member to protect human, animal or plant life or health within its territory.

The ALOP is a broad objective

SPS measures are established to attain that objective

Each WTO member has the right to determine its own ALOP (However, members should consider the objective of minimizing negative trade effects and must avoid arbitrary or unjustifiable distinctions that result in discrimination or a disguised restriction on international trade)
