Hi friends! Food is the most essential things for us. There are many kinds of foods. But all foods are not safe for us. We see that developed countries following some rules to ensure the food safety. There are many countries having food security but don't having food safety. Food security and food safty are different things.
Availability of food supply for all citizens is food security but ensuring that the food is safe to eat is foid safety. There are many countries having food safety authority. But only few countries can ensure the food safety. My country Bangladesh is a small country having a large population. To ensure the food safty in 2015 Bangladesh government has established Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA). Every district has a branch of BFSA. They tried to ensure the foid safety from field to fork. But the food sellers and producers are not conciuos about food safety.
They sometimes sells date expired food items. Sometimes they by food ingredients without any levelling. The cottege food sellers are careless about cleaning. They never wear apron, head cap, hand gloves. Some large food sellers also careless about cleaning. Often they don’t wear apron, head cap, hand gloves. A few months ago in Gazipur beside Dhaka many garments workers were became ill after eating food from a restaurant. Another day many people were became ill for eating unhygienic food grom a restaurant near the international airport. The food safety is very hard to ensure developing and under developed countries because most of the food seller are not well educated and most of them has no prooer training about food safety.
BFSA tried to train all food sellers and producers. They are also trying to spread the message of food safety to every sectors of the society as school students, housewives, teachers, farmers etc. Food safety is need for all over the world. We should never waste food and try to always take safe foods. It is our civic dury that if we found any fault in any restaurant, bekary or other foods or food related industries or shops we will immediately report to the proper authority with evidence or by capturing photos on our mobile phones.
Without our concern and help food safety will never ensure properly. So we have to follow the five keys to safer food.
