Does Food Safety Matters?

Food safety is about handling, storing and preparing food to prevent infection and help to make sure that our food keeps enough nutrients for us to have a healthy diet. Unsafe food and water means that it has been exposed to dirt and germs, or may even be rotten, which can cause infections or diseases such as diarrhoea, meningitis, etc.

These diseases can make people very sick or even be life threatening. When people are sick, they are weak and would have difficulty working or concentrating at school. Some of these infections also make it difficult for our bodies to absorb the nutrients they need to get healthy. Unsafe or stale foods also deteriorate and be of poor quality, which means they lose nutrients and so we do not get enough of what we need for a healthy diet. So unsafe food can also lead to poor nutrition.

As a consumer, how often do we really taking food safety in serious matter? 

For example, you are shopping in the mall, and you feel like getting a sandwich from the shop selling it, you firstly got attracted by the packaging, and the presentation of the sandwish, and you grab it, pay at the cashier, and munch on it while continue your shopping in the mall. Do you ever ask the shop does the sandwiches they selling are guarantee safely to be consumed? The answer is no, why? It is because we do not care about the food we buying are safe to be consume? Frankly speaking, we do care, however, the responsibility of making sure the food selling to consumers are free from contamination is always on the seller/manufacturer side. 

However, there are many cases of contamination incidents around the globe:
