Despite efforts to establish food safety systems mostly in medium to large-sized food business operators (FBOs) in Kenya, food safety incidents are still a major problem that in many cases go unreported but also lead to wastage and losses, as well as reputational and health consequences.
It is wrongly assumed that food safety is just about processes and implementing food safety management systems (FSMS). That, once you do this, the safety of food processed, prepared and served, or retailed will be guaranteed.
