The Canadian Food Inspection Agency defines Food Safety as the measures taken to ensure that food is free from harmful contaminants or substances. It involves identifying, evaluating, and controlling potential hazards to ensure food is safe at every stage of production, processing, handling, and distribution.
What is Food Safety
