“…Consumers need to feel able to make informed purchasing decisions. [16][17][18][19] Purchasing behaviour is commonly influenced by habit, 20 and generally consumers are reluctant to attempt a new or altered product unless endorsed by an authoritative body. 21 This supports the notion that government has a significant role in framing public health messages and the level of information to which consumers are exposed, 22 a view also expressed by the participants in the present study.…”

Aim: In Australia, the mandatory fortification of salt used in bread with iodine has recently been approved by the regulatory authorities (Food Standards Australia New Zealand). Apart from thiamine fortification of bread that has been in place since 1991, no other mandatory fortification programs exist in the country. The aim of the present study was to explore women's understanding of mandatory fortification as a public health strategy and their opinions regarding its appropriateness for addressing the re‐emergence of iodine deficiency. Methods: Four focus group discussions with 20 women of child‐bearing age, recruited from Wollongong in New South Wales. Results: Women had little knowledge about the role of iodine in the diet and were unaware that iodine deficiency was a public health issue in Australia. Mandatory fortification was viewed with concern, especially regarding the possible risk of toxicity. Clear labelling of fortified foods, in conjunction with education initiatives to accompany the pending iodine fortification program, were considered by the research participants to be essential in order to address these concerns. Conclusion: Women in the present study expect an authority, either a government body or health professionals, to take responsibility in making proactive decisions for the health of the population. When accompanied by transparent processes that include widespread consultation with consumers and clear explanations for the process, mandatory fortification is considered acceptable as an appropriate and effective strategy for ameliorating iodine deficiency.

“…National0authorities must take into account a variety of principles and0values that support food control0activities while attempting to develop, update, improve, or otherwise change food0control systems, including the following: maximizing0risk reduction by completely implementing the preventive principle along0the whole food0supply chain; addressing0the farm-to-table continuum; establishing emergency response protocols for dealing with specific dangers (such as product recalls); creating food control techniques based on research; deciding on priorities based on an examination of risks and the effectiveness of risk management; launching comprehensive, coordinated programs that address risks and their effects on the economy; and Realizing that food control is a duty that all stakeholders must actively participate in ( (Lewis et al, 2003).…”

Biological, Chemical and Physical contamination of foods is a terrible danger to emerging civilizations' health and economic progress. The abundant literature on0foodborne infections, particularly diarrhea in0children, exclusively illustrates the increased disease0burden associated with foodborne0illness in developing nations. The presence of several0pathogens in a variety of foods is prevalent in Pakistan. Precise0numbers for foodborne0infections in Pakistan0are difficult to come by due to a lack of monitoring, surveillance, and infection control. Aflatoxin contamination and mold proliferation are mostly caused by poor0processing and storage0of milk, cereal0grains, and nuts. Numerous studies show that a wide range of foods is contaminated with heavy0metals. The increasing population restricts the economic potential of individuals and states by encouraging traders and manufacturers to purposely degrade food0commodities provided for sale in order to maximize profit at the expense of quality0and safety. As a result, a recent trend0of food adulteration, notably milk adulteration, creates an urgent concern for the government. This analysis is a concentrated effort to shed light on the current food0safety situation in0Pakistan. Data from0local and relevant international research will be provided to paint a clear picture of food safety0in Pakistan. It is advocated that a comprehensive food0safety infrastructure be created, constructed, and implemented in order to provide a safer food supply.
