Food industry standards

Food industry standards are guidelines and regulations designed to ensure the safety, quality, and proper handling of food. They cover everything from ingredient sourcing and hygiene practices to labeling and nutritional information. These standards help prevent foodborne illnesses, ensure that food is safe to consume, and that it meets consumer expectations for quality and freshness. Regulatory bodies, like the FDA in the United States, enforce these standards to protect public health and ensure fair practices in food production and distribution. Overall, these standards aim to maintain the integrity of the food supply chain.
