Food safety involves rigorous practices and protocols designed to prevent foodborne illnesses and contamination throughout production, processing, storage, and distribution. This includes monitoring for microbial pathogens, chemical residues, allergens, and physical hazards, supported by regulatory standards and inspection systems to minimize risk.
Food authentication, on the other hand, focuses on verifying the identity, origin, and content of food products. It helps combat food fraud, ensures accurate labeling, supports fair trade, and protects both consumers and reputable producers from economic deception.
Together, these two pillars form a comprehensive approach to food quality assurance, promoting transparency, traceability, and confidence in the global food supply.
