Food is the basic need and necessary to survive. But can cause life threatening harm if safety is ignored. Therefore safety is must when we are talking about food. Food safety is a concept that forces everyone to wonder about health and well being. It affects everyone in the chain, whether it’s a manufacturer, producer or a consumer. Safety of food is a shared responsibility of all whoever belongs to the industry, either directly or indirectly.
Even the healthiest of eaters have issues sometimes with food. You can enjoy a diet of lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats like nuts and olive oil, and still end up sick. It is more than just eating healthy foods, the problem is food safety. Sometimes items can spoil or you may not prepare them properly and the next thing you know you are suffering from stomach pains, fever, and a variety of other symptoms. The good news is you can avoid a lot of these problems with careful food handling and a little knowledge about preparation. Your first step is to carefully observe the items you purchase at the grocery store. Wax packaging should be without tears or punctures, seafood packaging behind the counter should keep the items chilled at a safe temperature, and poultry boxes should be clean.
Second step you should check the sell by dates before you buy.
