Food safety laws and regulations

Food safety laws and regulations are rules set by government agencies to ensure that food is safe to eat. They require food producers, processors, and sellers to follow standards for cleanliness, proper handling, storage, and labeling. These laws help prevent contamination, foodborne illnesses, and ensure accurate information about ingredients and nutritional content. Regular inspections, training, and compliance monitoring uphold these standards, protecting consumers and maintaining public health. Essentially, they create a safe framework for everyone involved in the food supply chain to deliver safe, high-quality food to the public.
