Food safety is embedded in food-related problems, and in proposed solutions. Despite continuous investment, the WHO estimates 23 million cases of foodborne illness and 5000 deaths in Europe every year and Europeans are not confident in the food system. Now, the circular economy aims to improve global food security through sustainable production, thus new ingredients, methods and food safety challenges. Food is unequivocally linked to non-communicable diseases, and changes are needed for nutritional food safety. Emerging and re-emerging foodborne pathogens are changing the epidemiology of foodborne diseases. Additionally, some chemicals are of concern, and food is a major source of human exposure. Finally, risk communication is required for management of consumer-based foodborne hazards, yet this foodborne illness is common. We ignore food safety challenges at our peril as potential consequences of a lapse are huge; keeping the food supply safe is a never-ending task.

食品安全被嵌入与食品有关的问题以及拟议的解决方案中。尽管进行了持续的投资，但WHO估计欧洲每年仍有2300万例食源性疾病和5000例死亡，欧洲人对食品系统不抱有信心。现在，循环经济旨在通过可持续生产来改善全球粮食安全，从而带来新的成分，方法和食品安全挑战。食物与非传染性疾病明确相关，营养食品安全需要改变。食源性病原体的出现和重新出现正在改变食源性疾病的流行病学。此外，某些化学物质令人关注，食物是人体暴露的主要来源。最后，管理基于消费者的食源性危害需要进行风险通报，但是这种食源性疾病很常见。我们会无视食品安全挑战的风险，因为失误的潜在后果是巨大的；确保食品供应安全是一项永无止境的任务。
