With increasing global interest in intentional food contamination, expert meetings have been held by the G8, while the U.S. government has proposed policies for preventing food terrorism and intentional contamination. However, Japan has no food defense policy, and some food companies are concerned about an impending terrorism and contamination crisis.
We developed a Food Defense Checklist for Food Producers and Processors and published the details on the website. We also developed tentative Food Defense Guidelines for Food Producers and Processors on the basis of the checklist. In this study, we tested the usability of the guidelines through a hearing survey regarding food plants. We also compared the checklist with the implementation manual for the approval system of Comprehensive Sanitation Management and Production Process (the Japanese equivalent of the HACCP).
We organized the comments gleaned from the hearing survey and provided a detailed explanation of the guidelines. As the HACCP has been adopted by Japanese food companies, we included both precautionary measures and the HACCP perspective in the explanation regarding the rapid dissemination of information.
The guidelines are useful for Japanese food companies, and it is important to disseminate knowledge on this topic and implement food defense measures.
随着全球对故意食品污染的关注度不断提高，八国集团召开了专家会议，同时美国政府也提出了预防食品恐怖主义和故意污染的政策。然而，日本没有食品防御政策，一些食品公司担心即将到来的恐怖主义和污染危机。
我们为食品生产商和加工商制定了一份食品防御检查表，并在网站上公布了详细内容。我们还根据该检查表为食品生产商和加工商制定了暂行食品防御指南。在本研究中，我们通过对食品工厂的听证会调查测试了该指南的实用性。我们还将检查表与《综合卫生管理与生产过程批准系统实施手册》（日本版的HACCP）进行了比较。
我们整理了从听证会调查中收集到的意见，并对指南进行了详细解释。由于日本食品公司已采用HACCP，我们在关于信息快速传播的解释中纳入了预防措施和HACCP视角。
这些指南对日本食品公司很有用，传播关于这一主题的知识并实施食品防御措施很重要。
