Abstract

We develop a theoretical framework and presents a corresponding empirical analysis of the Food and Drug Administration’s irrigation water quality regulatory standard under the Food Safety Modernization Act using lettuce as a case study. We develop a stochastic price endogenous partial equilibrium model with recourse to examine the standard’s efficacy under various scenarios of foodborne illness severity, standard implementation, demand response to foodborne outbreaks, and irrigation costs. The stringency of regulation is evaluated with endogenous producer response to regulatory requirements and corresponding implications for economic surplus. The baseline results show that in the case of the lettuce market, the proposed microbial irrigation water quality regulation in the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is not cost effective relative to the existing Leafy-Greens Marketing Agreements relying on water treatment for mitigation of microbial contamination. However, FSMA can be cost effective if water treatment is sufficiently expensive.
受污染的水和食品安全现代化法案
我们以生菜为例,建立了一个理论框架,并对美国食品药品监督管理局根据《食品安全现代化法案》制定的灌溉水质监管标准进行了相应的实证分析。我们开发了一个随机价格内生部分均衡模型,以考察该标准在食源性疾病严重程度、标准实施、对食源性疫情的需求反应和灌溉成本等各种情况下的有效性。监管的严格性是通过内生生产者对监管要求的反应以及对经济盈余的相应影响来评估的。基线结果表明,就生菜市场而言,《食品安全现代化法案》(FSMA)中拟议的微生物灌溉水质监管与现有的依靠水处理来缓解微生物污染的Leafy Greens营销协议相比,并不具有成本效益。然而,如果水处理足够昂贵,FSMA可能具有成本效益。
