Global Food Safety Emerging and Developed Countries - Food Safety or Food Security -
Food Science 101 • Bacteria (pathogens or spoilage bacteria) growth is predicated by temperature, moisture, and access to nutrients • Keep cold foods cold (< 4°C) and hot foods hot (> 65°C) • Primary methods of preservation of foods – refrigeration, water activity (drying or solutes), or acidity • Other variables by location – cultural practices, competitive flora • Basis for some religious teachings about foods
World Hunger Facts • About 6. 5 billion people in world • More than 850 million people in the world are malnourished — 799 million of them live in the developing world. • More than 153 million of the world's malnourished people are children under the age of 5. • Six million children under the age of 5 die every year as a result of hunger.
World Hunger Facts • 54 nations currently do not produce enough food to feed their populations, nor can they afford to import the necessary commodities to make up the gap. Most of these countries are in sub-Saharan Africa. • Lack of dietary diversity and essential minerals and vitamins also contributes to increased child and adult mortality. Vitamin A deficiency impairs the immune system, increasing the annual death toll from measles and other diseases by an estimated 1. 3 million-2. 5 million children.
Food Security • 850 million people (13% of world’s population) go to bed hungry every day. They are far more concerned about finding something to eat (Food Security) than about the safety of their food. • In many countries, safety of water will need to be achieved before safety of other foods will be considered
Waterborne disease WHO, 2004 • Account for 4. 1% of total global disease • 88% of 1. 8 million total deaths caused by diseases is waterborne • Waterborne disease can be caused by protozoa, viruses and bacteria • The intestinal parasite, schistosomiasis alone may account for 200, 000 cases and 200, 000 deaths each year
Waterborne bacterial disease - often from human and animal waste • Vibrio – cholera – parahemolyticus • Campylobacter • Diarrheogenic E. coli – O 157: H 7 and many others • Shigella
Estimating Global Disease Burden WHO is taking the lead • 1990’s: England, Wales, the Netherlands – Prospective Cohort Studies • 1990’s: US – Cross-sectional surveys compared to clinical observations • Early 2000’s: Australia, Canada, Ireland – Similar to US cross-sectional surveys
Estimating Global Disease Burden WHO is taking the lead • 2002: WHO Consultation recognized many areas of the world underrepresented and establishment of sentinel site countries, Jordon first site (Salmonella, Shigella, Brucella) • 2004 and 2007: major consultations to facilitate data sharing and methodology for better understanding the global burden of disease
WHO, 2007 • Consultation in Geneva developed a strategic framework with an evidence map, time frame, and proposed elements of a standard protocol for conducting burden of illness studies

Why is Food Safety our Top Priority? (for any company, country, or commodity) • It is a cost of doing business • The changing global food safety landscape demands more diligence, flexibility, and speed than ever before. • The cost impact of not doing food safety right is higher than it’s ever been. • The benefits of doing food safety right contributes directly to the bottom line – and not just in cost avoidance. • Consumer and regulatory scrutiny are at an all time high. • World class companies that win in the marketplace have world class food safety principles
Why Focus on Food Safety • Consumer and regulatory scrutiny are at an all time high. • The benefits of doing food safety right contributes directly to the bottom line – and not just in cost avoidance. • World class companies that win in the marketplace have world class food safety principles. • The changing global food safety landscape demands more diligence, flexibility, and speed than ever before. • It is a cost of doing business
Factors Impacting Food Safety • There a number of factors directly impacting the safety of today’s food supply: – – – Globalization of our food supply Increased regulatory and public scrutiny Intensive animal husbandry and agricultural practices Demographic changes and consumer behavior Climatic and environmental changes
Factors Impacting Food Safety: Globalization of Our Food Supply • Sourcing of food ingredients and commodities from outside of the U. S. has grown dramatically over the last ten years – – • Food imports to US from developing countries is skyrocketing (2007 projections): – – – • From $32. 44 B in 1996 to $64. 03 B in 2006 Projected to grow to $70. 0 B in 2007 Mexico/Central America South America China/Asia Africa Middle East $13. 2 B $ 9. 0 B $10. 9 B $ 1. 6 B $ 0. 8 B IMPLICATION: Imported foods, especially from developing countries, may be riskier as food safety systems are sometimes rudimentary or non-existent
Factors Impacting Food Safety: Intensive Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Practices • • • The world’s population is projected to grow to over 7. 8 B people by 2025 An estimated 20 million acres of farmland is replaced annually due to growing populations and urbanization Given these trends, large-scale, intensive animal production and farming practices are projected to accelerate in future years – – – • In the U. S. , intensive animal husbandry accounts for ~53% of total domestic agricultural income As a result, about 130 times more animal waste is produced than human waste – roughly 5 tons for every U. S. citizen. Manure has been the source of pathogens in a number of major foodborne illness outbreaks IMPLICATION: Increasing pressure from ranching and farming practices on the environment will increase the likelihood of pathogens entering the food supply
Factors Impacting Food Safety: Demographic Changes • International migration will continue to be a major factor impacting foodborne illness around the world – • The aging of the population is a major factor impacting food safety – – • Changing ethnicity patterns result in changing food preferences and practices that can result in food safety issues The population aged 65 years and over is projected to increase by 78. 6% by 2025 Infectious diseases, including foodborne diseases, are a problem for the elderly because of declining immune function Other segments of the population that are more susceptible to foodborne disease include pregnant women, neonates, and the immunocompromised – It is estimated that 20 -25% of the population is at increase risk for foodborne disease at any given time
Factors Impacting Food Safety: Changes in Consumer Behaviour • Changing trends in food consumption patterns impact food safety as consumers are eating more fresh produce, fish and other seafood and organically grown foods • Consumers engage in risky food safety practices despite health warnings and recommendations • IMPLICATION: New technologies and systems are needed to ensure the safety of today’s consumer-preferred food products. New approaches to consumer education are needed regarding safe food handling practices
Factors Impacting Food Safety: Increased Regulatory and Public Scrutiny • The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and similar bodies in other countries have in place a foodborne epidemiologic and surveillance network (Pulse. Net and Foodnet at CDC) that enables the rapid detection of foodborne outbreaks • Regulatory bodies (FDA and FSIS in the U. S. ) are constantly implementing new policies to try and reduce food safety outbreaks • Food Safety is increasingly being used as a barrier in international trade of food
Pathogenic Bacteria do not recognize countries borders - E. coli 0157: H 7 and other shiga-toxin producing E. coli - Antibiotic resistant Salmonella including S. Typhimurium DT 104 - Vibrio’s associated with fish and shell-fish shipped around the world - Many others
National food laws and their underlying food safety measures and conformity assessment systems should be guided by the following principles • Only safe and wholesome foods should be marketed; • Food safety is science-based; • Transparency, education, and a strong scientific underpinning equals public confidence in the safety of your food supply.
Conclusions: • Food safety and security issues in emerging and developed countries are different • Even though there are different challenges in emerging countries, establishment of safe food production, processing, and distribution practices will lead to a more secure food supply, which will directly benefit the health of the population of the country as well as offer the opportunity for economic development of any natural food resource • Basic food safety principals are the same, no matter if you are in an emerging or developed country
