Summary

The information on foodborne diseases made available indicates that foodborne disease is increasing worldwide and that new and emerging problems get through current safety procedures. Reasons for this include the increasing globalization of food production and trade, the application of new process technologies, changing eating habits, and increasing human migration. However, additional and more adequate information is needed for a rapid recognition of new and emerging foodborne diseases. This applies especially to identifying hazards and gaining information about dose-response relationships. Several ways to obtain such information are investigated. To protect the consumer, both food producers and governments have their responsibilities in actively collecting the necessary information.
