Food is a basic necessity in human life. People consume food every day to meet their nutritional needs, ensuring that the body functions properly. Healthy and nutritious food helps boost the immune system, maintain metabolism, and support growth and development. However, in the modern era, ensuring food safety has become an increasingly complex challenge.
Over time, food has become a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is an essential source of energy for the body. On the other hand, if contaminated or containing harmful substances, food can pose serious health risks. Food contamination can originate from various sources, including contaminated raw materials, unhygienic production processes, improper packaging, and unsafe distribution practices.
One of the primary risks in food consumption is the presence of allergens and undetected harmful substances. For individuals with food allergies, the presence of allergens can trigger severe reactions, ranging from digestive issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Therefore, the food industry must ensure that its products are safe and free from harmful contaminants.
