Risk regulation in non-animal food imports : the European Union approach

Risk regulation in non-animal food imports : the European Union approach Montanari, Francesco, 1920-; Donati, Carlo,; Jezsó, Veronika - Cham : Springer, 2015 - xi, 99p., illus., includes references - SpringerBriefs in molecular science .
This Brief aims at providing a general understanding of the rationale? scientific as well as political? behind EU policy and related risk management decisions in the area on non-animal food imports. Lately, various menaces associated with imported food and feed of non-animal origin appeared in the media: imported sprout seeds contaminated with E. coli, strawberries containing hepatitis A or noro viruses, to name but a few, are now as much discussed as the different well-known meat scandals. The authors explain the reinforced official controls at EU borders on certain imports of non-animal origin and the wide range of EU measures that currently foresee trade restrictions for imports presenting chemical and non-chemical?high risks? from a public health perspective (so-called?emergency measures?). The Brief closely examines chemical (and also non-chemical) risks associated with imports of non-animal origin and their impact on human health. The authors also consider the role risk analysis is playing to underpin risk-management decisions at EU level, including the scientific output by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
