10. Summary

Food safety is a very complex topic. Crises have repeatedly led to product recalls in the past and significantly contributed to consumer unrest. This not only influenced consumption, which collapsed in part, but also resulted in significant damage to the reputation of the product itself. The examples mentioned from the egg, poultry and game industries illustrate this very clearly. Minor triggers have shown time, and again that a critical light was cast on many food products, also clean food products. Dioxins on forbidden ingredients can be considered criminal. Environmental residues or soil contaminations, on the other hand, are difficult to assess for producers and pose a risk that is hard to perceive. Oftentimes, these findings are caused by so-called inherited contaminations, as can be seen in the organic egg industry during the Nitrofuran crisis. Producers cannot be held accountable for this; however, they do bear the full risk and consequences associated with this. Unfortunately, it has shown repeatedly in the past that economic factors alone led to crises. The initial use of cheap additives and other ingredients, which did not appear to contain contaminations but did in the end, have contributed to this. Therefore, the food producer should be aware of the responsibilities associated to these activities. However, it can certainly be recommended to inspect purchased feed and similar products before use. Suppliers should have a certain certification. Product recalls by authorities and public disclosure, as well as rapid alert systems (EC), are further sensible measures. However, prevention is better than cure, and high-quality production, as well as adherence to stringent standards, is paramount.
