Common Food Standards

Common Food Standards are rules set by authorities to ensure food safety, quality, and honesty. They specify how food should be prepared, processed, and labeled to protect consumers from contamination, fraud, and health risks. These standards establish acceptable levels for ingredients, contaminants, and additives, and require clear information about food products. By adhering to these guidelines, producers and sellers help ensure that the food we buy is safe to eat, accurately represented, and meets agreed-upon quality benchmarks. This system fosters trust and helps prevent food-related health issues.
