First Step to Help Companies Avoid Food Safety Problem

Food safety problem has never been more serious in China. When it comes to safe food, it concerns everyone. With the development of China’s economy, Chinese people are getting richer and richer. People expect to live a high quality life when they can afford it. However, scandals like melamine-laced milk, recycled gutter oil are constantly reminding people of the harsh reality: food safety problems are endangering each and every one. It is a problem Chinese government must face and solve to restore the confidence people have lost. According to the latest poll, 47.88% of the interviewees show their dissatisfaction with the performance of government. It is 29.72% when the same poll was conducted in 2012. Greed for money is the main reason behind those scandals. Due to the limited regulatory environment tainted by corruption, the chance of being caught is not that high. Opportunists are taking a chance when they clearly understand the harm their products do to the customers.

However, China is not the only country who is suffering from food safety problem. In the past decade, there has been a burst of food safety problem in developed countries like US and European Union where the regulations for the food safety are the strictest of all countries. Unlike China, the risk for selling unsafe food is way too high for companies in US. The reputation they have been building for decades could be ruined overnight for such problem. Hundreds of companies have gone bankruptcy after a serious food safety event. In the April of 2008, an outbreak of a mysterious salmonella incident forced the US Food and Drug Administration to issue a notice of fasting raw tomatoes. After a three-month investigation, the Authority announced that jalapeno is the real source. During this time, there are already more than 1,000 people being infected. The tomato processing industry suffered a loss of nearly $ 100 million. Some small companies such as the Naples tribute packaging company announced bankruptcy in this period of time.

Food safety problem has more to do with handling, preparation and storage of food for companies in western countries. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards. Low quality manufacturing equipments could be the key factors resulting in the unsafe food production. In the year of 2006, 42 people got food poisoning after eating the chocolate produced by one of the world’s leading food companies British chocolate company Cadbury chocolate. Their products have been contaminated with salmonella by the cleaning equipment sewage. Cadbury had to recall of hundreds of thousand of chocolate companies within the EU and worldwide.
