The Importance of Food SafetyFood safety was established to ensure that the food we eat is properly cooked or stored properly. Food is essential for survival in the creation of all animals as well as humans. The government has established programs and a food safety and inspection department to ensure that retailers are selling according to codes, whether hot or cold edible foods. It is regrettable that some countries do not have the opportunity to learn about food safety. Food safety is very important because eating raw foods can lead to illness or food poisoning. For example, if chicken is not cooked properly, the person eating it can get food poisoning. So you need to be very careful about what you eat and what you cook. In order to control food safety, it must be managed by inspectors from the beginning.Recent problem in China: Chinese street vendors reusing oil from guttersRecently in China, there has been a problem regarding street vendors reusing gutter oil cooking oil to cook food and serve it to shoppers. .
