3. On Sept 11, 2001 the U.S. was attacked

4. The U.S. government has declared the food and agriculture sector to be one of 17 critical national infrastructures vulnerable to intentional attack.

5. What Type of Harm Could Occur? Intentional delivery of a harmful biological or chemical agent to the food supply system could cause:  Physical harm (illness or mortality)  Economic disruption  Direct  Indirect  International  Political unrest  Psychological harm – loss of confidence in food supply

6.  Missouri Restaurant Industry:  Over 13,000 locations in the state  2007 projections  employment = 273,500  sales = $8.1 billion  Each $1 spent in MO restaurants = $1.38 in sales for other industries  Each $1 million spent in MO restaurants = 43.7 jobs Will this Effect Missouri?

7. Case Study: Polonium 210  November 23, 2006 Alexander Litvinenko died of acute radiation poisoning due ingesting a large dose of Polonium 210.  1 st person to die of acute α-particle radiation effects  Most likely mixed into tea  Highly toxic  Difficult to find and identify

8. Supplies

9. Grapes of Wrath  A terrorist group claimed to have contaminated Chilean grapes with cyanide.  Fruit was removed from U.S. stores, consumers stopped purchasing Chilean fruit.  Only 2 grapes were found to have possible contamination.  The threat caused $200-300 million in damages.

10. Distribution

11. Food Service

12. No Bleu Cheese Please!  In 1984, members of an Oregon cult intentionally contaminated restaurant salad bars with Salmonella bacteria.  They were attempting to influence an election.  751 individuals became ill, 45 were hospitalized.

13. Food Defense focuses on security, protecting the food supply from intentional contamination. Courtesy of Food Technology magazine, from "Defending the Food Supply," August 2005, Vol. 59, No.8. Food Technology is a publication of the Institute of Food Technologists, www.ift.org. www.ift.org

14. Is Food Defense Different than Food Safety?  Food Defense focuses on protecting the food supply from intentional contamination. unintentional  Food Safety (HACCP) focuses on protecting the food supply from unintentional contamination. It can help with, but is not a substitute for food defense.

15. Who Might Intentionally Contaminate an Food Service Facility?  Disgruntled employee/former employee  Contract or temporary employee  Members of terrorist or extremist groups  Truck driver  Affiliate of a competing facility  Visitor to facility

16. Rats!  Businessman poisons food of rival noodle shop with Tetramine.  Poisoning sickens 400 kills 49 (soldiers and school children)  Owner of rival Kindergarten contaminates lunch with Tetramine  Poisoning effects 70 kindergarteners and 2 teachers Rival Chinese Businesses use banned rat poison containing Tetramine to harm a competitor’s business

17. Potential Contaminants  Biological Agents: Injure by causing disease, or producing toxin.  Chemical Agents: Injure through toxicity to biological systems, or chemical burns to tissue.  Radiological Agents: Injure externally with radiation burns and potentially deadly acute radiation sickness. Injure internally by causing damage to internal organs.

18.  Category A: Easily to use, high death rate  Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax)  Clostridium botulinum toxin (Botulism)  Category B: Moderately easy to use, moderate illness, low death rate, hard to diagnose  E. coli O157:H7  Salmonella spp.(Salmonellosis)  Shigella spp.(Dysentery)  Not categorized: Naturally occurring, can cause symptoms in humans.  Listeria monocytogenes (Listeriosis)  Campylobacter jejuni Bacillus anthracis Clostridium botulinum Biological Agents of Concern E. coli Campylobacter jejuni

19. Chemical Agents  Biotoxin (Ricin or Abrin) disrupt protein synthesis  Aconitine  α-Amanitin  Metal (Arsenic) damages blood cells  Blood Agent (Cyanide) disrupts oxygen usage.  Nerve Agent (Sarin) prevents nerves from controlling muscle contractions

20. Radiological Agents  Polonium 210  Plutonium  Uranium 238 (U- 238)

21. What Makes an Attractive Agent of Intentional Contamination?  Long Incubation period  Highly effective (Potent, toxic, virulent)  History of use (increases future chance of use  Available (easily produced in adequate quantity)  Low traceability

22. Following several major food recalls in the US, consumer surveys were conducted. Courtesy of Food Technology magazine, from "Defending the Food Supply," August 2005, Vol. 59, No.8. Food Technology is a publication of the Institute of Food Technologists, www.ift.org. www.ift.org

24. Who Do Consumers Believe is Responsible for Food Defense? Stinson et al., 2008

25. Who do Consumers Believe Should Pay for Food Defense? Stinson et al., 2008

26. Products That Consumers Believe Most Likely to be Intentionally Contaminated Stinson et al., 2008

27. Defense plans are encouraged but not required for farms and most food establishments. Courtesy of Food Technology magazine, from "Defending the Food Supply," August 2005, Vol. 59, No.8. Food Technology is a publication of the Institute of Food Technologists, www.ift.org.www.ift.org

28. Facilities Currently Required to Participate in Food Defense All vendors providing food for USDA feeding programs must now be in compliance with the Food Defense System.

29. Four Steps for Developing a Food Defense Plan  Assess the vulnerabilities  Write a plan  Evaluate the plan  Maintain the plan

30. Assess the vulnerabilities  Gather a team of key personnel to make the assessment.  Use FDA Guidelines: Guidance for Industry Retail Food Stores and Food Service Establishments: Food Security Preventive Measures Guidance http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/guidance.html. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/guidance.html  Think like someone who wants to harm your operation.  Look for areas where contamination would be spread through normal operations and areas that are not frequently observed.

31. Café Vulnerability Assessment

32. Countermeasures are actions taken to shield vulnerable areas, reducing the risk of intentional contamination.

33. Areas to Consider for Countermeasure Development Procedures Facility Technology Personnel

34.  Workforce  Shipping and Receiving  Visitors and Customers  Marketing Countermeasures for Procedures

35.  Light it  Lock it  Limit Access Countermeasures for Facility

36. Write the Plan  Develop a countermeasure to defend each vulnerable point identified as high risk.  Create a written plan including those countermeasures that are reasonable for the situation.  Identify the individual who will implement the countermeasure.  Set a timeline to implement the countermeasure.

37. Café Food Defense Plan

38. Should such an event occur a timely and efficient response will be critical to minimizing the damage.

39. Develop a Written Response Plan  Plan for handling of contaminated product  Emergency Planning  Facility Map  Emergency Contact Phone List  Visitor Log  Supplier/Customer Contacts  Employee Emergency Information

40. Handling of Contaminated Product  Hold any food you suspect may be contaminated  Retained or recalled product will need to be stored prior to disposal  Storage will need to be separate from non contaminated product  Prepare a plan for disposal, to be reviewed by FDA and state authorities  FDA will witness the execution of the plan

41. Café Containment and Disposal Plan

42. Facility Map  Name, address, and phone of owner/proprietor  Relationship of the facility to adjacent properties and/or structures.  Road access including transportation routes  Perimeter boundaries, include fences, and gates (with dimensions)

43. Facility Map continued  Buildings, outbuildings, doors, windows, AC/heating, ventilation  Utilities (water, gas, electric, phones) location and shutoff  Septic System and drainage areas with direction of flow  Web sites such as Google Earth www.earth.google.com
