Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards. In this way, food safety often overlaps with food defense to prevent harm to consumers.
The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then between the market and the consumer. In considering industry to market practices, food safety considerations include the origins of food including the practices relating to food labeling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, as well as policies on biotechnology and food and guidelines for the management of governmental import and export inspection and certification systems for foods. In considering market to consumer practices, the usual thought is that food ought to be safe in the market and the concern is safe delivery and preparation of the food for the consumer.
An underlying consideration for the safe transport of foods is the knowledge that if food is not delivered in good condition to the consumer, there is a large potential for loss of product. Risk analysis and food safety. The risk analysis is the generic use of different methods, used to understand the nature of risk and to accept it in most situations. The statistical determination of the nature and cause of a risk is the first step in risk analysis. Throughout the analysis, it considers factors of the food and where the food may be during the analysis. The conclusion cause of the risk has to be evaluated and whether it is a viable cause of an actual risk.
And finally, the risk results and possible means to prevent it needed to be evaluated. This is a new approach that differs from the traditional 'retrieve and react' approach. Ease it the expectancy of the impact of a risk probability, this will determine the potential level of damage and the severity of a risk. Consumer information and food preparation has to consider the adaption of food safety.
The consumer must be aware of the nature and use of a product and then has means to make the correct decision of whether the food was safe to eat. Information to the consumer is shown on labels and may involve health promotion campaigns with an array of media. A single source of information for the consumer stops an unrealistic understanding of the risks of a food or food practices. Informed decision making by the consumer compares the cost and benefits of the product or the consumer food preparation decisions relative to an ideal decision.
This will change potential harmful decisions into a course of action that will result in safe food. Step two is immediate action to prevent a known risk. This effort may go into providing an immediate solution and risk cause will go the risk evaluation and action compare with ideal decision making.
The significance of food safety may be in different categories. With different points that regard the health of individuals, it shows its importance. Though the concept of significance is quite broad, generally it emphasizes the benefits of food safety and the consequences of a lack of food safety.
Benefits of food safety can be seen from a microeconomic point of view. A clean and safe environment will promote a healthy society, thus lowering the cost of public health. By society avoiding foodborne illness through prevention, it will decrease the cost of medical care to treat the illness. This will definitely improve the quality of life, increase the productivity of an individual, and the good news is that while preventing foodborne illness, it will increase the consumption of food that has been prevented before. Not only that, it will also benefit the producers.
Following the regulations of safe food handling and production, a significant decrease in the rate of foodborne illness will reduce the liability cost to compensate the victims who got the illness because of a lack of food safety. The rate of products being rejected (import and export), the cost to send the products to the laboratory to be analyzed, and other costs related to this process will decrease due to the low rate of foodborne illness.
This is because safe food products promote high-quality products, and food safety will guarantee it. Through the smooth running of the production process, it will definitely give a chance for these producers to increase their product and set its foot on the global market. All this good news is the result of safe food production.
In a nutshell food safety is essential and vital to humans to sustain us and helps in fighting out germs .
