Whether your holiday plans include hosting a party in which you do all of the food preparation or a casual "potluck" style affair, good food safety practices can go a long way toward making the event a memorable one for all the right reasons. In the home, food safety concerns revolve around three main functions: food storage, food handling, and cooking. According to Robert Buchanan, Ph.D., senior science adviser and director of science in the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), many people overlook the importance of maintaining an appropriate refrigerator temperature. According to John Guzewich, CFSAN's director of emergency coordination and response, the kitchen sink drain, disposal, and connecting pipe are often overlooked, but they ...
The problem of food safety has become a focus in the world. In recent years, because of high frequency of food safety accidents, the problems of food safety have appealed much concern in China. This article introduces the features of the food safety regulation of the developed countries and then offers suggestions and the successful experiences that we should learn from when China is establishing our own food safety regulatory system.
Unless the government makes new investments in food safety, the CFIA will face a choice: ignore the USDA's demands and risk losing access to the U.S. market for Canadian processed meat products, or elevate food contamination risks for Canadian consumers by diverting scarce resources away from other inspection programs," Kingston said. First of all, we wonder why our country never attempted to match U.S. food regulations at the outset - for both domestic and U.S.-exported meat products.
The problem is we don't have a consistent identification of what is and what is not a reportable disease agent in Canada," said [Rick Holley], noting information must be passed from regional health officials to provincial health officials to federal officials, sometimes leaving "holes" in what is monitored. "It's an active program that tracks what makes people ill in food. We don't know that in Canada, we don't know which foods cause people to become ill in this country. "Organic is a production standard that has nothing to do with food safety," [Doug Powell] said. "People think it's safer and they think that local is safer, but there is no evidence of that."
They were miserably failed by the system in place to prevent and then detect the bacteria that cause outbreaks of disease, according to the investigation. There were ample warning signs, but the in-house inspections at the Maple Leaf plant in Toronto failed to nip the germs in the bud. Federal inspectors were too overworked to spend adequate time at the plant, [Sheila Weatherill] found. And federal departments responsible for the various parts of food safety failed to inform Canadians early and often of the threat lurking in their crispers. Before the meat was pulled from the supply chain, 22 Canadians died. When people started getting sick and dying, the search for the listeria source was slow, and uncoordinated. The first death happened June 17 last year, a month later Maple Leaf's pl...
Organic food consumption among consumers is becoming popular nowadays. The attitude has emerged in today's modern world due to the increased in awareness of the importance to maintain a healthy lifestyle by consuming foods without unsafe additives, preservatives, flavor and coloring.

Canada's overall fifth place (food-safety performance) out of 17 industrialized countries is a good-news story for consumers,'' said report co-author Sylvain Charlebois. "Canada is performing quite well when it comes to communicating (food safety) risks to consumers. This is very good news for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) -- the agency in charge of Canada's food safety measures and regulations.'' "Food recalls certainly have an impact on how consumers are perceiving risks whether they go to the grocery store, eat in restaurants or have a barbecue,'' Charlebois said.
Food safety is a very important issue," [Rosann Wowchuk] said. "We don't want to take chances. Wowchuk said current legislation deals with food safety on livestock and dairy farms, and public health inspections of restaurants and food stores. The new legislation would see Manitoba Agriculture inspectors take responsibility for inspections of food warehouses, distributors and processors, such as water-bottling plants. Public health inspectors will continue to inspect restaurants and food stores. "You don't have to wait," Wowchuk said. "You can take that food immediately."
