Food Safety

Food safety is everyone's responsibility. It is the governments responsibility to ensure that the producers and handlers comply with safety regulations. It is the producers and handlers responsibility to provide safe products to the consumer and it is the consumers responsibility to safely store and handle food after it is in their possession. Food safety must be a fore thought not an after thought. It should be given the utmost attention from the beginning of production all the way down the line to consumption. In my opinion, every effort should be made to educate consumers on the importance of safe food handling and ways to ensure food safety in their homes.
