The modern society has been affected by various lifestyle diseases that are mostly resulted by the consumption of farm products that have undergone a lot of inorganic processing. This has led for call to the relevant authorities to set up measures to ensure food safety consulting is done by the growers in order to come up with more natural farm produce.
Advancement in technologies has contributed to modern agriculture. This in return has increased the pathogens in human beings and they are drug resistant. The general public together with medical community has joined hands to eradicate the threat posed. WHO director general make a remarkable words attack on these pathogens. Through the food chain, this drug resistant bacteria is passed to consumers.
It is true that food has never attained safe standards as today but the awareness of the risks contained in unsafe foods creates the likelihood of more risks than ever. The general recognition has received major support from the mass media. The risks are mainly posed by pathogens, hormones and antimicrobial and residues from chemicals.
The creation of safety measures such as selling products that have been produced naturally without hormones and antibiotics has created new consumer demand. This has on the other hand led to a greater extent of distrust in farm products that do not have the label showing high quality or safety. Internationally there has been erection of trade barriers restricting farm products that do not meet the standards of the importing country.
Naturally raised and fresh products are opted for by consumers and happen to be on high demand. This has led to use of more unprocessed products. As a result, the use of products that have gone processing procedures before reaching the market has been low. The fresher the produce the safer are the consumers from contaminants and pathogens which come about because of consumption of raw materials.
The compulsory inspection remains indispensable although it has been futile in controlling and preventing developing pathogens which are food borne posing health threat to humans. Taking a look at meat as an example, years back ailments such as TB and brucellosis caused clinical ailments that were observable at farm stages and lesion recognizable during the inspection of meat. The pathogens of today like the toxoplasma are detectable through monitoring systems owing to their failure of lack of clinical symptoms.
Checks on quality control have been put in place so as to assign quality categories to products prior to making it available in market places. Owing to lack of ways in correcting or upgrading of final product, the high quality product will sell at higher prices while non-marketable ones will have to be cast-off. The production cost of all the qualities being equal makes it important to come up with measures on reducing of losses.
To conclude, it is important to make consultations of the food safety so as to ensure that the health of these consumers in not at risk. This will help to optimize on profits through selling of more natural produces. For more knowledge one can join agricultural institutions or join seminars.
