Food Safety

Food safety is the inspection of foods to prevent disease and illness on human beings upon consumption. Food safety can be monitored anytime from delivery of raw materials to processing, packaging, storage and the handling of both the raw and cooked food. Food safety could also check on foreign materials that are in food products that may cause harm to human consumption or presence of micro-organisms or pathogens that may cause humans to be ill upon consumption. It also inspects that food preservatives, addictives, colourings etc are within limit or it would cause harm to human health. Food safety inspection may happen during food processing and production itself.
