food safety

I think food safety is the responsibility of both producers and consumers. Producers should keep the rules for protecting food from becoming spoiled during their production. While, it is also consumers responsibility to keep an eye on the food that they consume and make sure they are eating fresh food which has less chance of spoilage. Producers should test their products before shipping it to the stores to make sure it is safe and does not contain bacteria and virus that can harm the consumers. Consumers should also inform the FSIS, if they discover that eating a certain food made them sick. So, that the FSIS can take the product of the market. General public should follow the rules to save themselves from eating spoiled food. They should keep hot foods hot and warm foods warm while cold foods cold. Proper storage of food is the responsibility of consumers as well as producers because this can help save people from food borne illnesses. So, in my opinion food safety is first the responsibility of producers, then consumers and to regulate all that and stop any spoiled food from further distribution.

Komal,

I agree with you that first the responsibility should go to the producers, and then the consumers need to follow up with their own safety measures. Because we cant see if our food is contaminated, safety needs to be first all the way through the process.
