Food safety being a critical factor, following regulations is crucial to consumer health. In “The Prevention and Therapy of Crohn’s Disease,” Dr. Gilles R. G. Monif emphasizes the importance of being aware of and preparing for dietary risks.
The Rio Declaration on Food Safety and the WTO Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures establish the guidelines regulating global food safety. Using the precautionary principles that protect public health and prevent environmental harm, food safety verification is trusted to government.
Nationally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate US food safety. Food supply monitoring and regulation by these organizations is vital to public health. USDA’s recalls and warnings about agricultural product’s safety reduces health risk both to the consumer and to the manufacturer/producer (agribusiness) reputation and liability. The FDA has primary responsibility for food and product safety. The Cosmetic Act, Federal Meat Inspection Act, and Poultry Protection Act give FDA its authority to act in the public interest in upholding the public welfare.
In his book, “The Prevention and Therapy of Crohn’s Disease,” Dr. Gilles R. G. Monif examines how, with Crohn’s disease, regulatory governmental agencies circumvented their responsibility within the public trust and allowed the Crohn’s disease global pandemic to evolve. In Dr. Monif’s opinion, the Crohn’s disease global pandemic is a tragic event that should have never been.
