- W1965072017 abstract "There is much distrust of both the food industry and the ability of government agencies to protect the public from unsafe food. The current debate over genetically modified (GM) crops is a good example of the concern. One of the reasons for the distrust is that scientific risk assessments do not convince the many people who make value based judgments on the safety of consumer products. Another factor is that safety, whether of food or another product or service, has a political dimension that cannot be ignored, a theme throughout Safe Food and a help in understanding people's concerns.concerns.Figure 1Marion NestleUniversity of California Press, £19.95/$27.50, pp 356 ISBN 0 520 23292 5 www.ucpress.eduRating: ★★★There are interesting transatlantic similarities and differences in food safety. In both the United States and the United Kingdom, there have been scares caused by salmonella and Escherichia coli O157 food poisoning. In both countries, the agencies responsible for food safety have been perceived to put the interests of food producers ahead of public health. There have been calls for a single organisation that has overall responsibility for food safety in the United States, something that the United Kingdom has gained from the Food Standards Agency. A difference is that the American public has been much more accepting of GM crops than Europeans.True stories about outbreaks and legal actions can be exciting as fiction. In this book, the stories enlighten the more analytical sections, which are scholarly. The episodes of food contamination in the United States reveal the complex links in the food and pharmaceutical industries, and the diffusion of responsibility that followed takeovers, mergers, and sales of parts of companies with their patents. Matching this scattering of accountability is the labyrinth of American government supervision and control. An impression left by the ineffectiveness of government agencies is that consumer organisations must exercise their powers if food is to be kept safe.A stimulus for the book was the terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. This brings the discussion back from consumerism to the importance of the proper governmental organisations to monitor food safety and to respond to suspected contamination, whether accidental or deliberate. The book concludes with a clear statement of what needs to be done to ensure safe food, listing actions to be taken by the food industry, by the US federal government, and the public (for example, GM foods should be labelled in America, just as they have to be in Europe). This book is a good read for anyone trying to decide about GM food." @default.
