Can the Australian government guarantee a safe food supply?

The government and food producers do aim to provide safe food supply to the customers and the community but they cannot always guarantee a safe food supply. They do work to protect the consumers from unsafe foods by passing laws that make it illegal to supply unsafe food. The government also works to reduce the incidence of an unsafe food supply by setting up organizations that work to try and maintain a safe food supply to the consumers.

In Australia, Food Standards Australia New Zealand develops food standards to cover the whole of the food supply chain - from paddock to plate - for both the food manufacturing industry and primary producers.
