The purpose of the study was to study the safety and security of food stuffs in the face of their careless\/ignorant handling as well as against expected terrorist attacks at the system which may destroy and\/or degrade it at the source during distribution, processing and in the consumption phase. The study included the protective and response measures which may have to be taken to reduce the risk and mitigate the consequences of these threats to the food system. The final outputs of this pilot study were agreed to be mainly: To allow comparison between country partners To identify common weaknesses of the food systems As a result of the terrible September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States the nature of the terrorist threat appears to be more uncertain and diffused, therefore the terrorist threat against the food system which comprises production, processing, distribution, restaurants, and retail can be very diverse and unpredictable and involve chemical, biological, and radiological agents of various kinds. Preparing for all possible contingencies was not practical, so a \"risk management approach\" was used in this study based on risk management principles that acknowledge while risk generally cannot be eliminated, enhancing protection from known or potential threats can reduce it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hami Alpas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048195578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048195572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Hami Alpas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424639140095,"sku":"9789048195572","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7e16d4b-0ba8-4a16-b623-171784471756.jpg?v=1761531558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-chain-security-hami-alpas-9789048195572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
