Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards. In this way Food Safety often overlaps with Food Defense to prevent harm to consumers. The tracks within this line of thought are safety between industry and the market and then between the market and the consumer.

Food can transmit disease from person to person as well as serve as a growth medium for bacteria that can cause food poisoning. In developed countries there are intricate standards for food preparation, whereas in lesser developed countries the main issue is simply the availability of adequate safe water, which is usually a critical item. In theory, food poisoning is 100% preventable. The five key principles of food hygiene, according to WHO, are:〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Prevention of foodborne disease: Five keys to safer food )〕 # Prevent contaminating food with pathogens spreading from people, pets, and pests. # Separate raw and cooked foods to prevent contaminating the cooked foods. # Cook foods for the appropriate length of time and at the appropriate temperature to kill pathogens. # Store food at the proper temperature. # Do use safe water and raw materials. ==ISO 22000== ISO 22000 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization dealing with food safety.
