The Consumer Perception
Unknown Invisible Unnatural History Benefits ?
Risks ! External factors
Nanotechnology in Food
Mostly: Water soluble Degradable by biological processes Made up of building blocks that always
have been present in food products
Risk / Benefit Assessment
It is essential that individual consumers have objective information to enable them to make a risk/benefit assessment
Consumers must have faith in the credibility of the information
Consumers are willing to take risks daily

Risk management
Precautionary principle:New technologies should not be allowed when they imply risks for men or environment, even when this risk has not been scientifically proven
Proportionality principle: Measures taken should be based on risk-benefit evaluation: pe: no moratorium
Communication
What have we learned fromthe GMO issue?
How to avoid pitfalls
Communication
Points of Attention
Nanotechnology: there are hazards, we do not yet know if there are also risks
Be honest about potential risks Research into effects Regulation and standardization Built trust
Of the unknown
