While quality was formerly achieved by inspection of final products, it is accomplished now by prevention through controlling critical steps in the production processes along the agri-food chain. Hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) represent a typical example of such a preventive approach. Although this concept was developed primarily to assure food safety, the basic principle is also applicable to assuring non-safety quality attributes such as color, flavor, and nutritional value. " This section translates the HACCP principles into a critical quality control point (CQP) concept that can be part of a system to assure food quality. 

Chemical contaminants are usually not reduced or removed by processing steps. Chemical risks must preferably be controlled as early as possible in the agri-food chain. Food color additives (Section 7.1.3) are chemical compounds and are considered potential risks. Therefore a safety evaluation is part of the approval of a food colorant before its use is acknowledged by legislation (see also Section 7.1.6). This section explains the principles of risk assessment and includes an example of such an assessment of a specific food colorant.

If public opinion shapes EU policy, then a certain amount of uncertainty surrounds the future of agri-food biotechnology. The lack of equilibrium between the EU and the US adds to the global uncertainty over the issue since both are powerful political and trade powers and have yet to find common ground. This section will interpret the consequences of this uncertainty as the national and industrial responses to changes in their economic interests.
