食品安全供應至關重要

世衛組織和糧農組織呼籲各國警惕受三聚氰胺污染的奶製品有可能擴散

食品安全並不僅是政府當局的責任。食品工業也應負責確保向消費者提供安全的食品。 “至關重要的是，食品工業應大量投資於食品安全並接受一種食品安全文化，涉及從原材料直到最終產品的食品鏈，”Boutrif博士說。

類似中國三聚氰胺污染的事件不僅影響食品安全和人類健康，而且危及成億奶農的生計。 “各國需要作出重大投資，加強其食品控制和食源性疾病監測系統，因為這可盡量縮小發生類似的食品安全事件的可能性，”Schlundt博士說。

受三聚氰胺污染的奶製品事件最初於9月11日引起國際組織的注意。世衛組織和糧農組織都利用國際食品安全當局網絡（INFOSAN）就本次危機，即近幾年最嚴重的危機之一，向各國食品安全當局提供信息和最新情況。

Vigilance needed to ensure safe infant food

WHO and FAO alert countries to possible spread of melamine-contaminated dairy products

WHO and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are urging affected countries to ensure safe feeding of millions of infants following the ongoing melamine-contaminated milk crisis in China. The two agencies also call on countries to be alert to the possible spread of melamine-contaminated dairy products.

World Health Organization, WHO, has published a preliminary guidance to help national authorities decide about possible health impacts of melamine levels in food.
