DIVISION OF SAFETY INFORMATION ON DRUG, FOOD AND CHEMICALS

The mission of the division is to search, collect, analyze and evaluate safety information on food. We publish biweekly bulletins to the public on the web page, regarding the latest safety information on food obtained mainly from international organizations, foreign governments and regulatory bodies. We study the trend of food poisonings and prevention methods, and the way for acquiring and building of the scientific evidence leading to the promotion of the international harmonization of the food safety measures. We also sustainably contribute to establish Codex standards and related texts. The division also provides operation and information services of the library of the Institute.
