The topic of food safety in the U.S. frequently is the lead story in the news media and continues to be an important issue for biological scientists of all disciplines. The emotional and sensational aspects of food safety often cloud the facts as reported by journalists. Because we increasingly depend on foreign countries for our food supply, and because of the commonly held belief in our society that foreign suppliers are not required to meet the safety criteria of U.S. regulatory agencies, it is important for agriculturalists with international expertise to offer objective views on the topic of food safety. This report contains the observations and views of one such scientist.
美国食品安全问题常常是新闻媒体的头条报道，并且一直是所有学科的生物科学家所关注的重要问题。食品安全问题中情绪化和耸人听闻的方面常常掩盖了记者所报道的事实。由于我们越来越依赖外国供应食物，而且社会上普遍认为外国供应商无需符合美国监管机构的安全标准，所以具备国际专业知识的农学家就食品安全问题提供客观观点尤为重要。本报告包含了一位这样的科学家的观察结果和观点。
