COVID-19 is a zoonosis, a disease transmitted by an animal to humans. The diffusion of the outbreak is therefore born of an unsuitable, insufficient, excessively permissive food safety system. Hence, the regulation of food safety plays a central role in the protection of health and has done so on a global scale. The overall regulation of food safety therefore requires an increase in the level of health protection, even at the expense of commercial prerogatives. For these purposes, four reform measures are suggested: to transform the Codex Alimentarius Commission into an organisation that adopts international standards with the sole purpose of protecting health; to apply the precautionary principle on a global scale and in international organisations; to strengthen the mandatory labelling tool; and to create a worldwide system of controls.

食品安全、冠状病毒和风险预防：四项提案的未来展望

COVID-19 是一种人畜共患病，一种由动物传播给人类的疾病。因此，疫情的扩散源于一个不合适、不充分、过度宽松的食品安全体系。因此，食品安全监管在保护健康方面发挥着核心作用，并已在全球范围内发挥作用。因此，食品安全的整体监管要求提高健康保护水平，即使以牺牲商业特权为代价。为此，提出了四项改革措施： 将食品法典委员会转变为一个采用国际标准的组织，其唯一目的是保护健康；在全球范围和国际组织中应用预防原则；加强强制性标签工具；并创建一个全球控制系统。
