In 1998, a National Academy of Sciences panel called for an
integrated, risk-based food safety system. This goal is widely
embraced, but there has been little advance in thinking about how
to integrate knowledge about food safety risks into a system- wide
risk analysis framework. Such a framework is the essential
scientific basis for better priority setting and resource
allocation to improve food safety. Sandra Hoffmann and Michael
Taylor bring together leading scientists, risk analysts, and
economists, as well as experienced regulators and policy analysts,
to better define the priority setting problem and focus on the
scientific and intellectual resources available to construct a risk
analysis framework for improving food safety. Toward Safer Food
provides a common starting point for discussions about how to
construct this framework. The book includes a multi-disciplinary
introduction to the existing data, research, and methodological and
conceptual approaches on which a system-wide risk analysis
framework must draw. It also recognizes that efforts to improve
food safety will be influenced by the current institutional
context, and provides an overview of the ways in which food safety
law and administration affect priority setting. Hoffman and Taylor
intend their book to be accessible to people from a wide variety of
backgrounds. At the same time, they retain the core conceptual
sophistication needed to understand the challenges that are
inherent in improving food safety. The editors hope that this book
will help the U.S. move beyond a call for an integrated, risk-based
system toward its actual construction.
