Jorgen Schlundt, the U.N. body's food safety programme coordinator, speaks at a press conference after an emergency session of international food safety experts at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, June 27, 2002.

The 25 specialists, mainly from Europe, the United States and Japan were summoned to Geneva after researchers in Sweden found high levels of acrylamide, a cancer-causing substance in animals, and in carbohydrate-rich foods such as potato crisps. The finding, subsequently backed up by similar tests in four other countries including Britain and Norway, triggered a worldwide food scare.]
