Food safety and food security through predictive microbiology tools: a short review

This article discusses the issues of food safety and security as a matter global health. Foodborne illness deaths caused by pathogens in continue to be worldwide problem, with reported 600 million cases per year, leading around 420,000 2010. Predictive microbiology can play crucial role ensuring safe through mathematical modelling estimate microbial growth behaviour. Food is described social economical means accessing nutritious that meets people's dietary preferences requirements for an active healthy life. The also examines various factors influence security, including economic, environmental, technological, geopolitical challenges globally. concept science-based process or action prevents from containing substances could harm human receives limited attention policymakers consumers low- middle-income countries, where are most prevalent. highlights importance detecting contaminants prevent foodborne illnesses reduce waste. Agriculture Organization (FAO), institution belonging World Health (WHO) presented calls solve some emerging problems safety, it should concern all people involved pursue safer food. guarantee pertaining microbiological contamination, there different types microorganisms foods, obtained using predictive tools, which study analyse microorganisms' behaviour models. Studies published several authors show application primary, secondary, tertiary models used products.
