MeetingExamples of comprehensive and integrated approach to risk analysis in the food chain - experiences and lessons learned
An integrated approach to food safety covering the whole of the food chain and beyond: Sweden, Finland and the European Commission
2002This paper explains the need and application of a holistic approach to risk analysis and food safety throughout the food chain, at national, regional and international level. Responsibilities of those who produce, process and trade food are explained, with details of those responsibilities. Tackling problems at source using a preventive and integrated approach is emphasised and successful examples (such as the control of salmonella in poultry in Sweden and Finland) are explained. The paper concl udes by recognising the need to develop systems for detecting emerging risks, as they arise, at any point in the food chain. -
Book (stand-alone)FAO/WHO guide for application of risk analysis principles and procedures duringfood safety emergencies 2011An essential part of the Food Safety Emergency Response (FSER) is the process of assessing the risk, making risk management decisions, and communicating risk in the face of time constraints, lack of data and knowledge gaps. While the elements for conducting a risk analysis have been documented by Codex Alimentarius, the process of applying the risk analysis concept operationally during an emergency has not been addressed thoroughly. Some countries do, however, have well-defined procedures for assessing, managing and communicating food safety risks in the context of emergency situations, from which best practices may be derived. FAO and WHO have developed this document to support countries in applying risk analysis principles and procedures during emergencies in their own national food control systems, as risk analysis is a key component of national FSER planning.
