As the world’s population grows, the intense increase in food production creates both opportunities and challenges for food safety. In fact, food can become contaminated at any point of production and distribution. A WHO report in 2015 showed that unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases – ranging from diarrhea to cancers. The burden of foodborne diseases to public health is alarming, impedes social and economic development and drains healthcare systems.
