Food Safety Also Ensuring Quality & Security Sunday, March 29, 2020 Taslim Ahammad :Food safety, quality and food security are interrelated concepts with a profound impact on quality of human life. Many unregulated farm cart feed millions of people daily, street vendors operating, offering no guarantee of safety and quality food, hence, food safety is a crucial issue in Bangladesh. Unfortunately the haphazard use of pesticides, toxin, food additives and preservatives is the threat to food safety in our country. The number of food scandals, including adulterated, contaminated milk, bacteria in fresh foods, and melamine, antibiotic and dioxin tainted products, have gripped global attention and highlighted the critical necessity to protect the consumer against food contamination issues that do pose alarming health risk. Because of all this food safety, quality and security are paramount in Bangladesh. |
