Abstract
Strengthening collaboration on chemical hazards in food among food safety authorities and the World Health Organization in the Western Pacific Region
Highlights
The objectives of this paper are to highlight the benefits of sharing information to Western Pacific Region Member States and to identify similarities at the regional level in terms of food safety issues and public health protection
During the last 10 to 20 years, the amount of data collected at the national level to measure various chemicals in food increased more in the Western Pacific Region than anywhere else in the world
The level of food monitoring is not homogeneous among countries and not all countries have the human and financial resources for implementing a full national system covering each component of the risk analysis process
Summary
This is true for the exposure assessment component of the risk assessment for chemical hazards in food, which are extremely datadriven and for which the need for collecting and sharing data is critical. The objectives of this paper are to highlight the benefits of sharing information to Western Pacific Region Member States and to identify similarities at the regional level in terms of food safety issues and public health protection.
