Food Safety

Abstract

Food safety is a worldwide topic that affects a wide range of aspects of daily living. For consumers’ health, identifying sources of pollutants in food production and processing, as well as establishing proper production practices, is critical. The factors that produce food contamination may threaten its safety for consumption, making foods potentially hazardous to human health. As a result, a range of resources must be used to prevent food contamination at every level of the food chain, from harvest to consumption. Despite the fact that the factors endangering food safety appear to be straightforward to control in theory, studies and current practices reveal that there is still a long way to go in practice. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the factors that influence food safety and provide effective intervention approaches for food-borne illness and additionally utilized for food industry regulation, consumer health protection, and consumer safety. Despite the importance of educating customers about food safety, more consumers are likely to desire safer food in the first place. Setting food safety regulations and standards will include increased input from the whole food industry.
