Continuing global population growth: 7.3 billion (2015) to an expected 10.9 billion (2100)
Changes in dietary behavior due to increase of purchasing power (e.g. China, India)
Competition on agricultural market: Production of food renewable bioresources/energy crops
Development of supply and demand on a global level encourages trade of foods which are less safe and/or have lower quality
Not possible anymore to systematically control internationally traded knowledge-based services and goods
Prof. Dr. Dr. Hensel / Nov 6, 2015 / Joint German-French Workshop on Dairy Food Safety Systems / Beijing, China page 2 Blaise Pascal‘s Wager – Basic concept of the decision theory
• You believe in god, and god exists – you will go to heaven. • You believe in god, but god does not exist – you will not be punished. •You do not believe in god, and god does not exist – you will also not be punished. • You do not believe in god, but god does exist – you will get punishment.
Prof. Dr. Dr. Hensel / Nov 6, 2015 / Joint German-French Workshop on Dairy Food Safety Systems / Beijing, China page 3 Pascal‘s Wager in context of risk assessment
• You expect a risk and it exists – you will be rewarded (due to correct assessment) • You expect a risk but it does not exist – you will neither be rewarded nor do you lose anything. •You do not expect a risk and it does not exist – again, you will neither be rewarded nor lose anything. •You do not expect a risk but it does exist – in this case you will lose.

Prof. Dr. Dr. Hensel / Nov 6, 2015 / Joint German-French Workshop on Dairy Food Safety Systems / Beijing, China page 12 Global food chains - a challenge for risk assessors
Consumers purchase behaviour is changing significantly due to free market economy
Dissolution from local production and supply
Highly competitive environment => Low price foodstuff
Differences with regards to regulations: import regulations, border controls, statutory requirements
Do we have the right information, methods and tools for effective quality management and risk assessment?
Prof. Dr. Dr. Hensel / Nov 6, 2015 / Joint German-French Workshop on Dairy Food Safety Systems / Beijing, China page 13 REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002 General principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety
Article 8
Protection of consumers' interests
Food law shall aim at the protection of the interests of consumers and shall provide a basis for consumers to make informed choices in relation to the foods they consume. It shall aim at the prevention of:
(a) fraudulent or deceptive practices (b) the adulteration of food (c) any other practices which may mislead the consumer
Prof. Dr. Dr. Hensel / Nov 6, 2015 / Joint German-French Workshop on Dairy Food Safety Systems / Beijing, China page 14 Food fraud
• Probability of malpractice and white-collar crime increases with misdirected economic incentives
• Probability decreases with protective factors (bonds of moral norms)
• Food fraud highly profitable but causes only minimal damage to individual consumer or damage occurs with large time delays
• Risk-based controls fall too short to combat behavioural risk sources

Authentication: confirmation of all requirements regarding the legal product description or the detection of the fraudulent statements in view of: (i) substitution by cheaper but similar ingredients (ii) extension of food using adulterant (e. g. water, starch including exogenous material) or blending or undeclared processes (e. g. irradiation, extraction) (iii) origin, e. g. geographic, species or method of production

• WTO: since 1.1.1995 • Members: 161 Countries with 90 % of global economic power • Duties: Reduction of trade barriers and dispute settlements. New round of WTO trade negotiations was launched in Doha in November 2001 comprising both further trade liberalisation and new rule making
• Bi- and multinational trade agreements are increasing • Increase of Veterinary Certificates awarded by import countries and increase of countries assigned to authorized-for-import lists (e.g. by Russia, Brasil, China) • Increase of non-tariff trade barriers
