Food safety has become a popular issue in the media since the early 1990s. It has gained enormous importance in the European Union due to the significance of BSE that resulted in the extensive reorganization of the systems applied to control risk. Among many new disciplines, the risk analysis approach has emerged to provide a methodical paradigm for authorities. Risk analysis has been used in catastrophic loss management for a long time and is rooted in financial decision-making. Food safety, however required new control methods. The White Paper on Food Safety defined risk assessment, risk management and risk communication as distinctive but coherent and cooperative areas. The role of risk assessment and risk management is relatively clear. On the other hand, risk communication is often neglected in everyday policy processes. Its role can be limited to a reaction to press and crisis communication in many cases, although it is well known that 8 out of 10 patients treated with food borne illness are infected by food at home that has not been handled correctly. Fortification of consumer consciousness is also an important issue, which can be fostered by well designed communication campaigns and routine bilateral communication. This paper covers many of the important food safety cases (such as BSE, avian flu, red pepper intoxication, guar gum scandal, food frauds) that have occurred in Hungary from 2000. The analysis presents primary research data derived from different measurement methods utilized in previous years to indicate public resonance of the cases and the communication of different institutions.
