Recent Concerns Of Food Safety
The rising worldwide human travel and global distribution of food is facilitating the introduction and flow of pathogens and other hazards into human and animal populations. Further, global sourcing can also move pathogens and toxins from areas in which they are indigenous to places in which they have not previously existed. Food safety issues such as debate over organic foods, genetically modified foods, the incidence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), dioxin-contaminated foods arecausing heightened consumer concern about food safety worldwide today.
