Food quality and safety: refers to the provision of food that meets and safeguards the health needs of the population in terms of nutrition and hygiene. Food quality and safety involve issues such as food contamination, toxicity, excessive additives, and standardized labeling. Measures need to be taken before the food is contaminated to prevent contamination and exposure to major hazards.
