Most sciences and technologies related to food safety have advanced exponentially over the 40 years since passage in the U.S. of the Food Additive Amendment of 1958 to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. Effective regulatory decision making places a high premium on competent professional and administrative judgement applied to sound scientific data. This review discusses changes and lessons learned in the food safety sciences over the last 4 decades. Other segments of the safety and compliance infrastructure necessary to assure that the public receives safe and wholesome foods have not kept pace with the new scientific knowledge. The quality of foods in our marketplace can be improved only after the regulatory and legislative segments of the infrastructure, discussed in a companion symposium paper, are brought into better synchrony with the sciences.
自1958年美国《联邦食品、药品和化妆品（FD&C）法案》的《食品添加剂修正案》通过以来的40年里，大多数与食品安全相关的科学技术都呈指数级发展。有效的监管决策高度重视将专业和行政判断应用于可靠的科学数据。本综述讨论了过去40年食品安全科学领域的变化和经验教训。为确保公众获得安全有益健康的食品所必需的安全与合规基础设施的其他部分，未能跟上新的科学知识的步伐。只有在配套研讨会论文中讨论的基础设施的监管和立法部分与科学更好地同步之后，我们市场上食品的质量才能得到改善。
