Safety and Quality
Ensuring the safety and quality of food is essential for promoting health and well-being. Safe food protects against harmful contaminants and foodborne illnesses, while high-quality food delivers optimal taste, freshness, and nutritional value. By prioritizing hygiene, proper storage, and adherence to food safety standards, we can preserve nutrients and build trust with consumers. At the heart of nutrition lies the assurance that every bite contributes to a healthier, safer, and more satisfying life.
Food safety is a discipline, process or action that prevents food from containing substances that could harm a person’s health. Food safety aims to have food that is safe to eat. Food is the third most basic human need, after air and water. Only when food is safe can it contribute to our food security and health. When food is not safe, people cannot thrive, hunger and poverty cannot be alleviated, and a healthy life is not possible. If it isn't safe, it isn't food.
