''소비자는 통상 매스컴에서 많이 다루고 있는 식품중 잔류농약, 항생물질이나 방사선 조사식품에서 대한 우려를 많이 하고 있다. 그러나 식품과학적 측면에서 이와같은 오염물질에 의한 위해발생 가능성은 별로 높지않다. 오히려 우리가 별 문제가 없다고 생가가하고 있는 식품중 미생물의 증식이나 영양적 불균형이 더 큰 위해발생 요인이다.'' ''발생가능한 모든 위해를 완전히 차단하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능할 분만 아니라 국민건강상 더 큰 위해를 초래할 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 국민들은 단순히 적은 가능성일 뿐인 위해발생에 더 관심이 많고, 그 실익에 대해서는 모르거나 현실상황을 외면하는 경우가 많아 식품위생행정에 대한 불신이 증폭되고 있다.
