Food Safety – An Issue of Public Health Concern Debnath Chaudhuri All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health

Access to safe food is a basic human necessity Food may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, prions or toxic chemicals May affect all and particularly, infants, young children and elderly Poor are most vulnerable to foodborne health risks Foodborne diseases not only adversely affect people’s health but also have negative economic consequences for individuals, families, communities and countries

Unsafe foods are responsible for more than 200 diseases varying from diarrhoea to cancer Foodborne and waterborne diarrhoeal diseases kill an estimated 2.2 million people annually, most of whom are children Serious outbreaks of foodborne diseases have been reported from every continent in the past decade, illustrating the public health significance Unsafe foods create a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition Safe food is a prerequisite for food security

Almost any type of food can spread illness Causes of illness in 1,565 outbreaks of single food commodities, 2003-2008 Pie chart description: Shows the break down of causes of illness by type with the largest number causes by poultry, then leafy greens, beer, dairy, fruits-nuts, vine (tomatoes, cucumbers), pork, finfish, other, eggs, mollush, grains-geans. Source: CDC

Providing the vital link CDC provides the vital link between illness in people and the food safety systems of government agencies and food producers A big challenge is that prevention includes many partners, acting at different points along the food chain from farm to table. On the farm, good agricultural practices are needed, and oversight comes from industry itself, there is little regulatory oversight. The food factory, the industry uses good manufacturing processes, and regulatory authorities inspect them: This is where the federal agencies have their primary focus: The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for meat, poultry and some egg products, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for all other foods. Some food processing steps, like pasteurization and canning, are designed to make food safer, with oversight by the regulatory agencies. Microbial monitoring can verify that processing is done correctly. For restaurants and grocery stores, the codes and inspections are typically up to local health departments. Consumer education is a joint effort.

Foodborne illness in the U.S. Each year, 1 out of 6 Americans gets sick from food borne disease and 3,000 die as a result Reducing food borne illness by just 10% would keep 5 million people a year from getting sick Source: CDC

Initiatives Against Consumption of Unsafe Foods Development of ISO 22000 Publication of Codex Alimentarious ,2003 Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSAI), 2006

ISO 22000 ISO 22000 is a Food Safety Management System that can be applied to any organization in the food chain, farm to fork Becoming certified to ISO 22000 allows a company to show their customers that they have a food safety management system in place This provides customer confidence in the product.

C O D E X A L I M E N T A R I U S International Food Standards It is about safe, good food for everyone - everywhere. These international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice contribute to the safety, quality and fairness of international food trade Consumers can trust the safety and quality of the food products they buy and importers can trust that the food they ordered will be in accordance with their specifications

FSSAI Established under Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 For laying down science based standards for articles of food and to regulate their manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption Various central Acts like Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 , Fruit Products Order , 1955, etc are repealed after commencement of FSS Act

Initiatives for Awareness Development - Food Handlers Development of “Ten Golden Rules for Safe Food Production” (1990), WHO Introduction of “Five Keys to Safer Food Posters” (2001), WHO Development of “Five Keys to Safer Manual” and “Five Keys to Food Safety” (2006), WHO

Strategic Plan for Food Safety Including foodborne Zoonoses (WHO) 2013-2022 Science based decision making Cross-sectorial collaboration Leadership and technical assistance

Science-based decision-making Provide the science base for measures along the entire food chain to decrease foodborne health risks

Cross-sectoral Collaboration Improve international and national cross-sectoral collaboration Enhancement of communication and advocacy

Leadership and Technical Assistance Provide leadership and assist in the development and strengthening of risk based, integrated national systems for food safety

WORLD HEALTH DAY 2015 FOOD SAFETY “From Farm to Plate, Make Food Safe” GOAL Spur governments to improve food safety through public awareness campaigns and highlight their ongoing actions in this area Encourage consumers to ensure the food on their plate is safe
