About the Cover

Globally, foodborne illness is a significant public health challenge. Food safety inspection plays a crucial role in regulating food businesses to prevent foodborne illnesses. This issue’s cover article examined how food safety inspectors from various countries assess food contamination control during inspections. The findings indicate that inspectors are generally aware of food safety hazards and deploy various relevant data-gathering methods. The findings also indicate a prevailing methodological incongruence stemming from the absence of a robust inspection methodology. The authors propose the development of a clear and appropriate methodology to support food safety inspections to provide a robust and reliable means for evaluating food safety risks and reducing the incidence and burden of foodborne illness.
