It’s essential to have a well drawn-up and comprehensive “Food Safety Policy” that evokes
national commitment and ownership of the policy implementers from various sectors. Clear
mechanism, structures and institutional arrangements for implementing food safety plans of
action and activities are needed as part of policy implementation. (H. Yusuf, L.
Bhattacharjee)
Providing consumers with a system to easily recognise safe food items is an effective way
to improve food safety (K. Chatterjee, E. O. Edwards).
Food safety is difficult to achieve especially regarding sub-standard and fake products as
well as the unorganized sectors where no attention is paid to standards. Therefore it’s most
important to tackle the issue of substandard/fake products and institutionalizing street food
vending/open markets (E. O. Edwards).
Food safety is very much related to personal and community hygiene. In developing
countries, hygienic practices matter a lot to prevent water borne diseases. Some practices
such as cleaning of hands with soap after excreting and before eating can be imbibed
among the people through education, adult literacy missions and via interventions by the
NGOs and the media (S. Ghatak)
Research and Development (R&D) for safer food technologies is important for improving
food safety (S. Ghatak).
An useful food safety indicator would be accurate data on food borne illnesses. Consumer
complaints also indicate necessary regulatory actions in food industry sectors (E. O.
Edwards)
