This work describes the possibilities of using food as an element of bioterrorist activity. At the present time the infection or contamination of food products is considered to be easier than the use of aerosols in bioterrorist attacks. Terrorists can use food in their attacks which can cause casualties but can also provoke fear and panic, a reduction in confidence or even distrust of the authorities. The efiect of bioterrorist activity on food producers can cause a constant reduction of production and sales which can lead to significant material losses.
