The pilot study on Food Chain Security was launched in 2003 by NATO
Public Diplomacy Division Science for Peace and Security Section
(SPS) under the leadership of Turkey. The purpose of the study was
to study the safety and security of food stuffs in the face of
their careless/ignorant handling as well as against expected
terrorist attacks at the system which may destroy and/or degrade it
at the source during distribution, processing and in the
consumption phase. The study included the protective and response
measures which may have to be taken to reduce the risk and mitigate
the consequences of these threats to the food system. The final
outputs of this pilot study were agreed to be mainly: To allow
comparison between country partners To identify common weaknesses
of the food systems As a result of the terrible September 11, 2001
attacks in the United States the nature of the terrorist threat
appears to be more uncertain and diffused, therefore the terrorist
threat against the food system which comprises production,
processing, distribution, restaurants, and retail can be very
diverse and unpredictable and involve chemical, biological, and
radiological agents of various kinds. Preparing for all possible
contingencies was not practical, so a "risk management approach"
was used in this study based on risk management principles that
acknowledge while risk generally cannot be eliminated, enhancing
protection from known or potential threats can reduce it.
