“…Risk plays a crucial role in the regulation of foods and is especially significant since scientific evidence is often inconclusive. Although scientific risk assessments may be perceived to be value-free, neutral, and unbiased (Haack 2003), scientific inquiry incorporates notions of risk and conceptions of scientific evidence (Kang 2013). Technologies include uncertainties, choices for perspectives, and value-loadings, so are not comprised of stand-alone, factual answers (Saltelli and Funtowicz 2004).…”

Technologies being used to produce nonhuman animals who are used for meat and dairy products are viewed by some people as meaningful. Two technologies receiving scrutiny in agriculture are beta agonists that are fed to food animals to improve weight gain and cloning animals to secure offspring with specific traits. The technologies enhance the productive capacities of animals so that fewer resources are needed to produce meat and dairy products. Yet consumers are not sure they want food products with beta agonist residues and that are produced from clones. In overseeing the safety of food products and animals, legislators and regulators in the United States (US) and European Union (EU) have developed contrasting provisions regarding the usage of these technologies. An evaluation of heuristics involving information and experiences with bovine spongiform encephalopathy and animal production technologies offers support in explaining the US’s and EU’s divergent provisions.
