🔹 Food risks know no boundaries, but neither does knowledge – new technologies provide new opportunities for building #FoodSafety warning and management systems, connecting communities of knowledgeable actors, and facilitating #RiskNegotiation between different stakeholders.

🔹 #RiskCommunication is based on TRUST – Transparency, Relationships, Understanding, Science and Technology.
🔹 #FoodSafety messages must connect scientific facts with emotional and cultural values – be empathetic, be transparent and be human.

💬 Standards are only as good as their implementation and #MethodsOfAnalysis. Without such methods we would have no idea whether a commodity was meeting provisions that had been established to ensure the food was safe, or meet the quality parameters or nutritional requirements.
