Reasons For Adhering To Food Safety Consulting

By Elsa English


The various diseases have affected the modern society lifestyle. This has been as a result of consumption of products that have gone much of inorganic processing. To cope with this situation, relevant authorities have been called to action to ensure food safety consulting is carried out by the farmers so as to come up with natural farm produce.

Modern agriculture has contributed to an increase of pathogens in humans that are drug resistant. This has led to an attack on it by the medical community and as a result the general public. The recent and most severe attack was noted on the words of WHO director general. The drug resistant bacteria are passed to the consumer through a food chain.

It is true that food has never attained safe standards as today but the awareness of the risks contained in unsafe foods creates the likelihood of more risks than ever. The general recognition has received major support from the mass media. The risks are mainly posed by pathogens, hormones and antimicrobial and residues from chemicals.

Creation of safety measures like the selling of products which are naturally produced free from hormones and antibiotics have given rise to new consumer demand. This has resulted to an increased degree of distrust in farms outputs which do not contain a high quality or safety label. There has also been rise of trade barriers in the international markets for farm produces that are not at par with the health standards of importing nation.

Naturally raised and fresh products are opted for by consumers and happen to be on high demand. This has led to use of more unprocessed products. As a result, the use of products that have gone processing procedures before reaching the market has been low. The fresher the produce the safer are the consumers from contaminants and pathogens which come about because of consumption of raw materials.

The mandatory inspection is still indispensable though it has failed to control and prevent emerging pathogens that are food borne and pose risk to human health. Looking at meat for example, in the past, diseases like brucellosis and tuberculosis caused clinical diseases which could be observed at farm levels and lesion that would be recognized during meat inspection. The modern pathogens like toxoplasma are detectable only via targeted monitoring systems as they do not show clinical symptoms.

Quality checks on control have been set to assign the quality categories to products before being set to the market place. Lack of the right ways of correcting or even upgrading of the final product, high prices are experienced on high quality products. On the other hand, the non-marketable products are cast-off. Measures on the reducing losses are brought as a result of production cost of the quality being equal.

From the above, it becomes prudent to follow up consultations of food safety in order to ensure that the health of the consumer is free from risks and also to optimize your profits by selling more natural produce. One can join seminars or pay a visit to agricultural institutes to get more knowledge on how you can grow your produce in a more organic manner.
