Food safety is a topic that concerns and affects everyone. Food manufacturers, packaging materials suppliers, governmental agencies, regulatory bodies and consumers, among others, have a vested interest in the protection of the food supply. Food safety is at the core of health and well- being on a worldwide basis.

The safety of what the world eats is a multi-faceted issue as well. From concerns with basic cleanliness, proper food processing and handling techniques, proper packaging and restaurant preparation, to issues like avian flu transmittal and/or deliberate acts of terrorism, food safety is more than ever a concern for the 21st century.
