Food safety standards are guidelines designed to ensure that food is safe for consumption. These standards cover various aspects of food production, handling, and storage, aiming to prevent foodborne illnesses. They are established by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Compliance with food safety standards involves practices like proper cooking temperatures, hygiene during food preparation, and safe storage methods. Regular inspections and training for food handlers help maintain these standards, ensuring that consumers receive safe and healthy food products.
