Book (stand-alone)Technical bookArtificial intelligence for food safety
A literature synthesis, real-world applications and regulatory frameworks
2025Also available in:
No results found.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in food safety management, offering new capabilities in data analysis, predictive modelling, and risk-based decision-making. A review of the literature identifies three primary areas of application: scientific advice, inspection and border control, and operational activities of food safety competent authorities. Five country examples with the real-world use cases illustrate diverse uses of AI tools, including pathogen detection, import sampling prioritization, and language models for regulatory data processing. Regulatory frameworks, as well as voluntary governance, addressing AI in the public sector are emerging worldwide. National and international initiatives often highlight the importance of data governance, transparency, ethical considerations, and human oversight. Challenges such as biased data, explainability, and data governance gaps appear across different contexts, along with potential risks from deploying AI systems prematurely. Access to high-quality, interoperable data and collaboration among stakeholders can support effective integration of AI technologies. AI readiness often depends on understanding specific problems to be addressed, current capacities, and the quality of available data. Human oversight and continuous evaluation contribute to maintaining trust in AI systems. Collaborative efforts involving academia, the private sector, and international organizations help build shared knowledge and resources for AI development in food safety. Overall, AI presents opportunities to enhance resilience, efficiency, and responsiveness in food safety systems. Careful consideration of governance, data management, and multi-stakeholder cooperation can shape AI’s contribution to achieving sustainable and equitable outcomes in agrifood systems. -
Book (series)Manual / guideCodex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual
Thirtieth edition
2025The Procedural Manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission helps national delegations and international organizations attending as observers, participate effectively in the work of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. It sets out the basic rules of procedure, procedures for the elaboration of Codex standards and related texts, and basic definitions and guidelines for the operation of Codex committees. It also gives the membership of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The 30th edition of the Codex Procedural Manual continues to work towards a harmonization of language, particularly around synonymous terminology, thus setting precedent for Codex’s other written materials. Specifically, this latest edition contains three changes to "Section 4.6: Risk analysis principles applied by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods", 1) a revision of "Annex C: Approach for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs to one or more species"; 2) the inclusion of "Annex D: Criteria and procedures for the establishment of action levels for residues of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from unavoidable and unintentional veterinary drug carryover in non-target animal feed"; and 3) a consequential amendment to paragraph 133, Establishment of priority list. In "Section 5.1: Table of committees, document references and terms of reference", following the decision by the Commission to reactivate the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes, this committee was moved from “commodity committees (adjourned sine die)” to “commodity committees (active)”. Finally, editorial changes have been made to more consistently apply abbreviations and provide more accurate cross-referencing by numbering subsections. -
