Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the implementation of food safety systems in the 1980s, the three phases of risk analysis have been Risk Assessment, Risk Management and Risk Communication. These areas of risk analysis have reached a very high level of effectiveness and implementation in developed countries. However, the need to increase crop and livestock production, together with the emergence of new foods, requires new legislation, new research on hazards, and technologies to transform raw materials into healthy food.
This Special Issue aims to bring together all the research that provides methodologies and results of studies on microbiological and chemical hazards with an impact on foodstuffs and especially on novel foods. An increase in the probability of a food item being unsafe would reduce its commercial interest, its research and the intervention of health authorities. Subsequently, with greater knowledge of food safety priority risks, elements of official food control systems will be updated and continually improved to address them.
