Food Defense: Securing a Safe Food Supply from Deliberate Contamination Until September 11, 2001, food security meant having access to enough food, at all times, for an active, healthy life .Now there is a second and new definition of food security, better referred to as food defense. It means taking actions to secure the production, processing, and distribution chain from bio (chemical) terrorists so that food is an unattractive target and unlikely to be deliberately contaminated with an agent that would make people ill, cause death, or cause an economic loss to individuals or to industry. Arguably, if food is produced according to good farming and manufacturing practices, the chances of it being compromised by a deliberate terrorist are less, but certainly not zero.
