If attention in developing countries is focused on the lesser risks being debated among developed countries, resources and energy unfortunately could be diverted from more fundamental problems such as potable water supplies or refrigeration of food during transportation and storage. Fine-tuned might be a better term than changed. I expect that food safety standards will continue evolving as food scientists and technologists around the world learn more. The likely consequences are much more work for the more than 160 countries that actively participate in the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which has the important role of establishing international standards, guidelines, and principles for use in food trade among nations. The work of Codex has always been important, but its value has increased substantially because of its relatively new status in the World Health Organization as one of three international standard-setting organizations whose health and food safety standards serve as key reference points in settling trade disputes.
