Quality and Food Safety Management in Food
Service Industry
include governments, consumers, industry, NGO’s, academia,
media and others. Risk communication can enable people to
make informed decisions, facilitate mutual understanding
between stakeholders, and frequently inform and enhance risk
assessment and risk management.
Why is Food Safety Risk Communication Important?
Many people are exposed to food safety hazards and risks on a
daily basis, both in developing and developed countries. The
frequency and extent of exposure depends on the controls
implemented across the food chain, and access and availability
of safe food supplies in local environments. Although there is
limited data available in some countries and regions regarding
the impacts of food and waterborne disease on human and
environmental health, it is estimated that diarrhoeal diseases
alone kill over two million people around the globe every year.
A considerable proportion is believed to be food-borne.
Effective food safety risk communication can improve:
o People’s physical well-being;
o The environment in which they live (animal, environment
and plant health), and;
o Their overall quality of life, including socio-economic
factors such as livelihoods and psychological factors.
