Guideline Content of Presentation Roles and Responsibility of Thai FDA From Research to Regulation for Food Safety: Case Studies 1

Food Safety Problems and Challenges in Thailand Burden and Emerging of Food-Related Illness Harmonization on Food Safety and Quality Standards of International Food Trade. Lack of Knowledge and Appropriated Practices in SME/ OTOP cause Microbial Contamination. Changing in Lifestyles, including Rapid Urbanization Food Innovation and health claim. 10

How to Overcome the Problem by Microbial Contaminants in Drinking 2 Supporting from the Academic Water in Sealed Container o Research in Appropriated Process Control and Sanitation Measure (De-fluoridation). o Design and Develop Appropriate Technology for SME. o Training Center for Small Businesses to do a Good Practice. o Publish Printed Media and Materials to Producers and all Stakeholders. 15

Revising Maximum Limits of Microbial 3 Pathogen in Foods (Old Version) Notification of Ministry of Public Health on Maximum Levels of some Microorganisms in Food Products กฎกระทรวง There was only the Standard for Sanitary Indicator Bacteria such as; Coliform, E.coli, Yeast and Mold In Food Products shall not Detect Pathogen such as; Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp., and Staphylococcus aureus Requiring the Limit Levels of Pathogen to Comply with International Standards. 20

Research Result: Model to Estimate the Maximum Levels of Microbial Pathogens in Foods Growth Factors ; Y=X*2 n pH, Aw, Generation time, Infective dose, Temp Y = Infective dose X = Maximum residue levels of microorganism in a portion size which no harmful to human health n = Generation time Related information Propose; - Food Properties - International Standards Notification of Ministry of Public Health on the Maximum Levels of Microbial Pathogen in Food Products 17

Update Maximum Level of Food 3 Additives Notification of Ministry of Public Health on Food Additives Provided the Maximum Use Levels of Food Additives Codex has Reviewed and published the GENERAL STANDARD FOR FOOD ADDITIVES (GSFA) Needs to adapt the guideline to reduce international trade disruption. 23

Information Supporting to Update Maximum Level of Food Additives 3 Review information for Toxicological Evaluation ADI • Toxicological data Acceptable daily intake - mg/ kg bw • Epidemiological study Proposed quality and standard ) • others data Exposure Assessment National Survey A. Food consumption data Total Exposure of Food Additives in food B. Maximum Level(mg/kg of food) = Food consumption data x Maximum Level ( A ) ( B ) Risk Characterization Proposed Regulation on Food additives: Total Exposure of Food Additives in food � Risk = Maximum Use Levels in Food Products ADI Therefore at the ML set forth, Risk < 1 � Thai populations are safe 19

Universal Salt Iodization 5 Iodine Deficiency is the Main Cause of Impaired Brain and Situation; Cognitive Development among people at all age. Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) have been Recognized as a Serious Public Health Problem in Thailand in the Past Decade Problem Solving Techniques; Awareness and Perception on Iodized Salts among Stakeholders : Gov., Processers, Academics Appropriated Technology and QA/QC Inspection and Surveillance system 26
