\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Food acquisition, production, modification, and processing technologies form a continuum of allied biotechnologies, which trace back to the beginnings of agriculture. These technologies have made use of naturally"=occurring genetic variation in an effort to create variety and expand the reach of food sources. This work resulted in the development of tiered decision trees for determining food safety issues for  foods derived from microorganisms, single chemicals and 
simple mixtures, and whole foods and other complex mixtures. Decision trees consider the genetic origin, composition, and safety of the food; resulting in a decision to accept, reject, or further study the test material. The council's recommendations stated that food safety evaluations should be closely linked to existing agricultural and processing practices as well as estimation of the regulatory status of comparable foods. Risk assessment is an important responsibility for directors and principal investigators of microbiological and biomedical laboratories. Institutional biosafety committees, animal care and use committees, biological safety professionals, and laboratory animal veterinarians share in this responsibility. The primary factors to consider in risk assessment and selection of precautions fall into two broad categories: agent hazards and 
laboratory procedure hazards. In addition, the capability of the laboratory staff to control hazards must be considered. This capability will depend on the training, technical proficiency, and good habits of all members of the laboratory, and the operational integrity of containment equipment and facility safeguards. The identification and assessment of hazardous characteristics of 
genetically modified agents involve consideration of the same factors used in risk assessment of the wild"=type organism. It is particularly important to address the possibility that the genetic modification could increase an agent's pathogenicity or affect  its susceptibility  to antibiotics or other effective treatments. The risk assessment can be difficult or incomplete, because important 
information may not be available  for a newly engineered agent. AFRD has trained a selected group of scientists, young researchers, and peoples involved to prepare a real group of professionals fully involved in the spirit of EU in relation to the consumer's protection with the food quality standard assurance. }
