这一条第一次考虑了与联合王国有关的安全食物权。为此，它绘制了国际粮食体系-贸易、卫生和人权-的治理图，并考虑到该体系的根本脆弱性。完成后，重点转移到考虑这些脆弱性将如何影响联合王国的食品安全。它通过认识到确保英国食品安全所固有的结构性弱点来做到这一点：英国对国际食品体系的进口依赖越来越难以确保稳定的供应链。供应链不稳定性增加的最终结果是，在安全食品方面，供应链易受影响-在食品欺诈、污染、掺假等方面。参考联合国食物权问题特别报告员最近的审议，可能有助于不仅将食品安全问题作为消费者的正确的，但要协助确保在未来动荡时期获得安全食物的权利。
This article considers for the first time the right to safe food as it relates to the United Kingdom. It does so by mapping the governance of the international food system - trade, health and human rights - and considering the fundamental vulnerabilities of that system. That done, the focus shifts to considering how such vulnerabilities will affect safe food in the United Kingdom. It does so by recognising the structural weakness inherent in ensuring safe food in the United Kingdom: British dependency for imports on an international food system which is finding it increasingly difficult to ensure stable supply chains. The net result of an increase in the volatility of supply chains is their vulnerability where safe food is concerned - with regard to food fraud, to contamination, to adulteration, etc. While recognising that the United Kingdom is, by necessity, reliant on the international food system, reference to recent consideration of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food might assist in centring not only issues of food safety as a consumer's right, but assist in ensuring the right to safe food in the tumultuous times ahead.
