      There are a number of food-associated hazards that can cause harm to human health. Chemicals used in agriculture, environmental pollutants and pathogenic bacteria are all examples of hazards that can ultimately end up on the consumer’s plate and in some cases harm their health.

      Food safety standards, the development of which began more than 20 years ago, are used to confront these hazards, with their basis in a formal process called “risk analysis”. Risk analysis consists of three separate elements: risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.

      Three volumes on the subject of Food Safety make it possible to articulate this link between food safety and risk analysis. They have been created by Jeanne-Marie Membré and Thierry Bénézech, with the assistance of Nabila Haddad, and published by ISTE Ltd and Wiley in the SCIENCES series:

      1 – the volume coordinated by Nabila Haddad covers both chemical and microbiological hazards: Haddad, N. (2022), Hazards in the Food Processing and Distribution Chain;

      2 – the volume coordinated by Thierry Bénézech and Christine Faille deals with risk management and focuses on microbiological risks: Bénézech, T. and Faille, C. (2022), Control: Preventing the Biological Risks Associated with Food Contamination During Processing/Distribution and Consumer Usage;

      3 – this volume, coordinated by Jeanne-Marie Membré, completes the series. It is entitled Microbiological Risk Assessment Associated with the Food Processing and Distribution Chain.

      I would first of all like to thank Gilles Trystram and Jack Legrand, who entrusted the joint coordination of the topic of Food Safety to me, together with Thierry Bénézech, and also the publishers and their support team.

      I would next like to thank Thierry Bénézech and Nabila Haddad, who assisted me in preparing the three volumes on this topic. A big thank you, too, to the authors of the various chapters, without whom this work would not have been possible.

      Finally, all my thanks to Marie-France Pilet, director of SECALIM, the INRAE research unit within which I work, who allowed me the time needed to bring this coordination/editorial project to successful fruition.

      Introduction

      Food safety is the guarantee that food is harmless, in other words that its consumption will have no adverse consequences for health. As we are reminded by the World Health Organization (WHO), food safety encompasses all the measures taken to provide food that is as safe as possible, and hence the policies and measures applied must relate to the entire food chain, from production to consumption.

      There are a number of food-associated risks that can cause harm to human health. Chemicals used in agriculture, environmental pollutants and pathogenic bacteria are all examples of hazards that can ultimately end up on the consumer’s plate and in some cases harm their health.
