Early Public Disclosure on Food Risks
It is crucial to note that foodborne risks should be publicly disclosed so people are more aware when these problems arise. Communication about the foodborne risks will ensure and allow the public to make informed decisions on their food choice. Getting risk knowledge will enable the public to grow their knowledge, which can analyze, acquire, assess, and recommunicate information to enable effective public risk communication. The three articles focus on early disclosure of foodborne risks to the advantage of public health.
Public health officials are responsible for giving out the information and usually have the data showing a risk earlier before notifying the public. It might be challenging for public health officials to discover the true signals concerning a foodborne emergency or threat from random noise (Bishop et al., 2017). To build public trust, establishing and publishing some ground rules is necessary. Also, accurate, clear, and timely communication is essential, especially during emergencies. Information provision about risks is not enough; hence, it is essential to teach the public ways to protect themselves and decrease the spread of infectious diseases (CDC, 2018). Risk communication is a fundamental component of risk governance (Chapman et al., 2017). Principles such as participation, cooperation, mitigation, and sustainability guide risk governance. The health department needs to explain the measures to prevent, identify, and mitigate foodborne risks.
In conclusion, public health officials are responsible for the early disclosure of food risks to the general public. To ensure trust, the officials should create a public trust to avoid the public taking the information as some random noise. Also, the officials should provide accurate, clear, and timely communication of the information to the public. While sharing the information, guidelines on protecting and mitigating the risks are essential. Informing the public before the risk or before the acceleration of the risk will prevent severe damage and ensure good health.
