Food safety refers to ensuring food will not cause harm when prepared or eaten as intended. Outbreaks of foodborne illness can damage trade and tourism through economic losses. Food traceability involves capturing information about food at all stages of the supply chain to allow checks on safety and quality. Foodborne illness is caused by eating contaminated food and can result from biological, chemical, or physical hazards. Preventative measures include good hygiene, proper food handling and cooking, cleaning, and purchase of safe foods. Food safety programs establish standards and regulations, training, inspections, response plans, and industry/community relations to prevent illness.
