Abstract:

This chapter examines the risk of intentional food contamination, primarily with microbiological agents. It provides an overview of current methods for evaluating risk and defining appropriate interventions. It lists a sampling of microbial pathogens and toxins of concern, along with some of the potential chemical agents of concern provided for comparison; several references that go into significant detail on the agents of concern and illness progression and food protection more broadly are available. The basic scales used in operational risk management (ORM) as they could be applied to the food system are noted in a table. Importantly, successful utilization of ORM does not require sensitive details on potential agents. As applied to the food and agriculture critical infrastructure, detection and diagnostic tools have the potential to prevent or contain intentional contamination events. Approaches to harden the food system against intentional contamination and enhance its inherent biosecurity are being adapted from ORM, CARVER, CARVER+Shock, and other systems from military and law enforcement experience and new concepts in intelligent adversary modeling, among others. While similar to the continual improvement approach dictated by food safety systems to prevent unintentional microbiological contamination of food products, food system defense represents an additional set of challenges.
