Fo­od sa­fe­ty is a sha­red res­pon­si­bi­li­ty of the sta­te, pro­ducers and con­su­mers. Everyo­ne who accom­pa­nies them on their jour­ney from farm to tab­le has a special ro­le in kee­ping them sa­fe and healt­hy.

Ma­ny fo­od pro­ducts, such as fruit and vege­tab­les, are con­su­med raw, whi­le ot­hers are ris­ky to eat unp­roces­sed. Cer­tain fo­od pro­ducts that are con­su­med in raw form require care­ful proces­sing.
