Food Safety

Food safety is a global concern. Consumers throughout the world are increasingly becoming aware of the risk associated with the consumption of unsafe food and are therefore demanding a safer food supply. This awareness combined with increased international food trade makes the spread of food borne illnesses much easier. Food contamination undermines food trade, tourism and livelihoods both in developed and developing countries.
