Highlight: Improving food safety risk communication

Recent global, regional and national food-borne disease outbreaks and large food recalls have had adverse impacts on consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply and agri-food production and trade. Post-event analysis of such events has indicated a need for more effective use of risk communication principles and practices. This document decribes the importance of effective risk communication in food safety, and highlights a new training package and handbook developed jointly by FAO and W HO to support countries, national food safety authorities, and food chain stakeholders globally in establishing or enhancing risk communication practice and capacity in the food safety sector. The full set of Highlights on FAO food safety and quality activities is available at the following Url: <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-au638e/index.html">http://www.fao.org/3/a-au638e/index.html</a>.
