Resumen
[ES] Todos conocemos los riesgos a los que están expuestos los alimentos, por lo que debemos tratar de evitar que se conviertan en peligros. Tenemos que prevenirlos, eliminarlos y reducirlos hasta un nivel que sea aceptable donde los alimentos sean seguros para la salud de los consumidores. A pesar de esto el “riesgo 0” no existe y para ello existen sistemas de alerta rápida aplicados en forma de red y destinados a notificar los riesgos graves para la salud humana que deriven de alimentos o piensos. Estos sistemas de alerta deben cumplir la política europea, basada en que los alimentos sean seguros y aptos para el consumo destinado, por lo que la transmisión de la información debe ser selectiva y rápida adoptando medidas eficaces para proteger la vida de los consumidores y evitar que los alimentos que no cumplen la legislación en materia de seguridad alimentaria sean rápidamente retirados del mercado.
[EN] We all know the risks that food is exposed to, so we must try to prevent them from becoming dangers. We have to prevent, eliminate and reduce them to a level that is acceptable where food is safe for the health of consumers. Despite this, “risk 0” does not exist so there are fast alert systems applied in the form of a network and designed to notify serious risks to human health derived from food or feed. These alert systems must comply with European policy, based on the fact that food is safe and suitable for its intended consumption, therefore the transmission of information must be selective and fast, adopting effective measures to protect the lives of consumers and prevent them from foods that do not comply with food safety legislation are quickly withdrawn from the market.
