Abstract

Food, health and consumer issues will continue to be a majorchallenge to all involved in European food production, processing andpolicy making into the next century. There is still controversy amongexperts concerning some of the key nutrition issues of today and anincreased European interdisciplinary effort is needed to resolveuncertainties in these and other areas. The merits of promoting aEuropean consensus on dietary recommendations should be explored by theCEC. Alternatively, existing recommendations of expert groups in anumber of countries could define nutrition policy in most member states.Economic and other incentives to dietary change, as well as consumereducation, must be encouraged by the EEC. Agrochemicals appear to posefew risks for consumers in the EEC while food additives, food processingand storage do not give rise to toxicological or nutritional problemsfor the majority of consumers. However, the area of natural toxicantsrequires increased attention
