About Food Safety

Many people do not think about food safety until a food-related illness affects them or a family member. While the food supply in the United States is one of the safest in the world, CDC estimates that 76 million people get sick, more than 300,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 Americans die each year from foodborne illness. Preventing foodborne illness and death remains a major public health challenge.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is established to provide the highest possible health of the people. Practices were made in every companies to maintain food quality and safety so that to reduce the risk of foodborned illnesses.
