从全球角度看食品安全面临的挑战

IUFoST
• Global food safety curricula:
– Determination of Core Competencies – Endorsement of Curricula – Establishment and implementation of a Recognition process – Development of a Master’s level Curricula and a Related Delivery Process
GFSI Mission & Objectives
Driving continuous improvement in food safety to strengthen consumer confidence worldwide
Industry concerns
• Unintentional
– Food Quality – Food Safety
CFDA
• 3 Food Divisions: production, marketing, and functional foods. • Establishing nationwide FDA branches. • Revision of food safety law. Comments have closed on July 31, 2014. • Developing new methods of implementing laws and regulations. i.e., Food Safety Police.
FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
• “Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food” Rule (CGMP-HARPC)

• (/foodsafety, /food,) • (partnership for food safety education) • (by reporters)
Primary Goal of FSMA
• Implement preventive controls • Goes beyond HACCP • Works with company with record keeping • Foreign supplier verification program • Enhanced inspection
Government China’s new China Food and Drug Administration: Emphasize domestic food production and marketing • US Food Safety Modernization Act: cooperation with foreign countries and prevention over inspection • Prevention will be the key for future
Media Attention
• Print and broadcast media attentions are at all time high. Accuracy of reports vary with region and maturity of media. • Social media is wide-spread and is a potential problem for transmit inaccurate food safety information. • Media training in food safety is badly needed around the world.
– Applies to microbiological, chemical, physical and radiological hazards that may occur at a food facility that manufactures, processes, packs or holds human food
More challenges
• Limited land and water for producing food • Worsening environmental conditions— heavy metal contamination in ingredients and aquaculture products • Continued training courses • Global standards for food safety related curricula
Consumer
• Consumer knowledge on food safety is inadequate even in developed countries. • Consumer reaction to food safety issues may not be due to food safety itself. • Development of consumer knowledge base has largely been neglected. • Food safety learning materials from children to adult need to be developed.

Food safety is a shared responsibility

Food Safety Status
Take Home – “Trust”
• Only when consumer “trust” industry will industry gain consumer confidence • Only when media “trust” scientists will they report food safety based on science • Only when industry “trust” the government will they respect food safety laws • Only when all the “trust’ added together will we have a global food safety culture
For Food Industry
• Transparency is essential • Prevention is better than Crisis Management • Put food safety as a part of the production cost. It pays in the long run • Earn consumer trust is not a easy job Loss consumer trust is a easy job
Food safety challenges [cont.]
• • • • • • Disease detection is becoming more sophisticated. New pathogens are emerging Immuno-compromised population is growing. Social media is opening new ways of communication Economically motivated adulteration is increasing And…consumer trust is at its worst…
WHO
• Advancing Food Safety Initiatives: Strategic plan for food safety, including foodborne zoonoses 2013-2022. • Three major strategic directions are: • 1) Science-based decision-making • 2) Cross-sectional collaboration • 3) Leadership and technical assistance
Food safety challenges
• Global population is expected to increase to over 9 billion by 2050 from the current 7 billion. • Global food supply will need to double or triple on a planet with limited farmland, fresh water • Global food system is more complex than ever before.
India
• First food safety law published in 1954 • FSSAI (Food Safety and Standard Authority of India) is part of Ministry of Health, uses 8 expert panels consists of scientists only to update food safety laws continuously. The agency has just gotten approval from India parliament in July, 2014. • Special sections for functional food and food for medical purposes. Tie nutrition to food safety
• Intentional
– Food Security – Food Fraud
Five Keys
•PEOPLE •SCIENCE •SYSTEMS •INTERFACES •RELATIONSHIPS
Academic Challenges
• New hosts for microbes, particularly in produce • Food Fraud—addition of illegal substances to food products • New food processing technology and packaging • Unclear nature of Functional foods

• The challenges of food safety are many, but the future of food safety is bright. • All responsible parties are paying special attention to food safety and are all taking meaningful actions. • Yet, much work need to be done by all.
