This book responds to increasing concern in WHO s Member States that chemical, biological or radionuclear agents might be used deliberately to harm civilian populations and that food might be a vehicle for disseminating such agents. The two major strategies for countering the threat of food sabotage are prevention and response, including preparedness. Chapter 1 introduces the problem and places it in the context of other food safety emergencies. Chapter 2 outlines the preventive aspects that can be incorporated into food safety programmes to meet the new threat of food sabotage. Chapter 3 addresses the surveillance, preparedness and response elements specific to food safety, to facilitate their inclusion in existing national emergency response plans and to achieve balance between threats to food safety and other threats. In chapter 4, the current activities of WHO in this regard and a proposal for strengthening collaboration to assure more effective alert and response systems for food terrorism are presented. Establishment and strengthening of food safety programmes will both increase Member States capacity to reduce the increasing burden of foodborne illness and help them to address the threat of food terrorism. 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 606 $aFood contamination$xPrevention 606 $aBiological warfare$xPrevention 606 $aEpidemics$xPrevention 606 $aFood industry and trade$xSecurity measures 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aFood contamination$xPrevention. 615 0$aBiological warfare$xPrevention. 615 0$aEpidemics$xPrevention. 615 0$aFood industry and trade$xSecurity measures. 676 $a363.19/26 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143507003321 996 $aTerrorist threats to food$92448969 997 $aUNINA
