Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The principal objective in the risk assessment of food is the protection of public health via the identification of potential food hazards, the assessment of population exposure, based on either human biomonitoring or food (contaminants) analysis, and the evaluation of the obtained data with regard to the toxicological profile of the hazard and susceptibility of the exposed population. A tremendous number of potential hazards and their combined occurrence—changing consumer preferences and food consumption patterns, new food sources and food production systems, circular economy, climate change, among others—could affect food safety and determine food health impact. The endeavor to assure food safety and reduce the risk of foodborne diseases throws up a variety of challenges, and calls for action from food scientists, producers, risk assessors and managers. The crucial importance of controling and reducing the prevalence of hazards in the critical steps of food production, risk and risk–benefit assessment approaches and tools should be recognized and acknowledged for the benefit of the citizens and society.
The Special Issue on “Food Risk Assessment and Control of the Food Hazards” invites recent research and review articles which introduce the topic at hand and provide an overview of its current status and future perspectives.
