The Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Food Forum was established in
1993 to allow science and technology leaders in the food industry,
top administrators in several federal government agencies from the
United States and Canada, representatives from consumer interest
groups, and academicians to openly communicate in a neutral
setting. The Food Forum provides a mechanism for these diverse
groups to discuss food, food safety, and food technology issues and
to identify possible approaches for addressing these issues by
taking into consideration the often complex interactions among
industry, regulatory agencies, consumers, and academia. The
objective, however, is to illuminate issues, not to resolve them.
Unlike study committees of the IOM, forums cannot provide advice or
recommendations to any government agency or other organization.
Similarly, workshop summaries or other products resulting from
forum activities are precluded from reaching conclusions or
recommendations but, instead, are intended to reflect the variety
of opinions expressed by the participants. On July 13-14, 1999, the
forum convened a workshop on Food Safety Policy, Science, and Risk
Assessment: Strengthening the Connection. The purpose of the
workshop was to address many of the issues that complicate the
development of microbiological food safety policy, focusing on the
use of science and risk assessment in establishing policy and in
determining the utilization of food safety resources. The purpose
was not to find fault with past food safety regulatory activities
or food safety policy decisions. Rather, the goal was to determine
what actions have been taken in the past to address food safety
issues, to consider what influences led to the policies that were
put in place, and to explore how improvements can be made in the
future. This report is a summary of the workshop presentations. It
is limited to the views and opinions of those invited to present at
the workshop and reflects their concerns and areas of expertise. As
such, the report does not provide a comprehensive review of the
research and current status of food safety policy, science, and
risk assessment. The organization of the report approximates the
order of the presentations at the workshop. The identification of a
speaker as an industry representative or a Food and Drug
Administration representative is not intended to suggest that the
individual spoke for that organization or others who work there.
