Abstract
International trade in food increases real and imagined risks to food safety. These risks primarily arise either from noncompliance with existing food safety standards or from substantive differences in sanitary and related standards for agriculture or food processing industries, which may differ across countries in stringency or due to differences in the fundamental principles embodied in the standards (Ansell and Balsiger 2009; Ansell and Vogel 2006; Echols 2001; Levi et al. 2009; Pollack and Shaffer 2009).
