| Course description |
|
Food should be safe for all consumers because it is related directly to their life. Also, the demand for the food that would enhance good health is increasing in Japanese society which is rapidly aging. While thanks to globalization we can currently obtain a variety of foods from all over the world, the domestic food sufficiency ratio is decreasing, with increase in the food processing intensity. In this context, food-related accidents frequently occur so that ensuring food safety would be the traditional, but new important issue in modern society. This course provides students with opportunities to consider the measures to ensure food safety and healthy diet. |

The goal of this course is to understand food safety issues, compering Japan and the World, especially, EU in terms of food safety policy and regulations. As for Japan, we address various issues related to food safety in a historical perspective. Because consumers' power is essential to ensure food safety, we review the consumer movement in Japan both in the past and at present. As for EU, the development of food safety policy is attributed to the incidence of BSE, we need to know various issues underlying BSE such as livestock product issues, farm animal issues and animal welfare. To deal with these issues, the effective framework for ensuring food safety were required. Risk analysis was adopted as a tool to design such a framework. Thus, through learning risk analysis, we consider what our society should be in order to ensure food safety. |
