Which food safety risks are on the rise?
There are several food safety risks that are expected to increase in the future due to various factors, including:
changes in food production and consumption patterns
globalization of food trade and
climate change
One of the most significant food safety risks that is expected to increase in the future is the risk of foodborne illnesses caused by bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria. This is due to a variety of factors, including:
the increasing consumption of raw and minimally processed foods, which are more likely to be contaminated with harmful bacteria
the growing trend of global food trade, which can increase the risk of food contamination during transportation and storage.
Climate change is also expected to increase the risk of foodborne illnesses by altering the distribution and prevalence of disease-causing organisms in food production environments. For example, warming temperatures and changing precipitation patterns can increase the survival and growth of certain bacteria in food production environments, leading to higher levels of contamination.
iComplai food safety risk prediction system helps you identify the existing and emerging risks and take preventive measures. By customizing the system to your raw materials, you are able to save time and focus only on what is important for you.
It is important for food producers, regulators, and consumers to be aware of these potential risks and take appropriate measures to prevent foodborne illnesses. This can include improving food production and handling practices, implementing more stringent regulations and monitoring programs, and practicing safe food handling and preparation techniques. By identifying the emerging risks through a food safety risk prediction system like iComplai, manufacturers are prepared for the upcoming risks on their products.
