Abstract
The Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) was founded in 2003 to secure food safety in Japan. Risk assessment, especially for our daily food, is an important issue for most countries. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of FSCJ, it is my aim to compare its activities with those organizations of other countries, i.e., USA, EU, Germany, England, Australia and New Zealand. My special emphasis is placed at the need of speediness and fairness of the process, and cooperation with all stakeholders including industries.
