National security and non terror risks to the national security.
Not all risks to the national security are related to terror – although terror would like to exploit the possibility to reach a vast number of casualties through the food chain it is rather complicated to bring such act to reality.While the use of bacterial risk factors and the food choice is the major hazard the authorities invest in preventing three major risk factors are rising to a seriously threatening factor. Economic food crimes: Adulteration and forgery of food ingredients, addition of simple harmfull elements to trick the tests, and replacing expensive reagents in cheap offensive ingredients are the major risk factors the industry faces.The melamine crises of 2008 in china was probably the most influencing economic crime in the food sector ever, with direct and indirect damages reaching billion of dollars the seven lives (three sentenced to death) and hospitalization reaching thousands (over 12000), 300,000 sick kids and tens of thousands of lost jobs, billions of dollars lost in recalls that spread through the whole globe. Like many other facts, It was lost in the general economic crisis of the end of 2008 but still probably the most influencing food economic crime world wide ever.Environmental hazards: the hazard of environmental toxicology is by far the most realistic dooms day scenario of food safety failures. The fact that there are so many agricultural lands next to if not right next or in the heart of toxic industry and the fact that some of the most toxic agents are used in agriculture, make this scenario more reasonable. The real numbers of food poisoning due to environmental poisoning is never actually measured and the real numbers of actual fish metal toxicology has never been reported yet these are the highest economic blows to any industry ever with economic impacts of recalls in the fishing industry reach damages of billions of dollars in few cases. For example the crisis on metals in tuna fish in the late 1990s early 2000s has been estimated in tens of billions. In Israel one day of recall on fish due to forbidden dye used in fish cultivation has cost around a billion NIS. In the early 2000s.Bacterial negligence – hygienic hazards – the most feared of all and the most commonly known hazard in food is the known pathogen attack on the population in food chains and fast food. Annual death toll world wide reaching 1,229 in 1999 and annual cost reaching 6.3 billions in 1999 with salmonella and listeria toping the list with ~500 death toll each.Listeria outbreak and general food outbreaks take indirect toll as well, in hospitalization and unnessesary ER visits that cause eventually .
