Inter-governmental effort needed for food safety

Dr Watcharas:  Actually, there has been a

a

lot of work on the food safety. There is also a working group in Asean to harmonise food safety standards. As every country has different standards, there is a need for one body to harmonise them. The working group was set up some time back and meets once a year. Therefore, progress has been slow.

For me, the most important thing is the recognition of other standards. We can’t have a perfect common standard for food safety but we can recognise the existence of other standards in other neighbouring countries, and work around that.
