Based on issue
Food safety is the serious and emerging issue prevailing around the world. There are
numerous diseases that are up-coming due to lack of food safety and changing food habits of
the people. In order to protect people from these hazardous problems and taking steps
towards its improvisation is the complex activity. Certain specific issues associated with the
product and food safety are botulism, pasture nitrate inhibitor and small pieces of
unrecovered plastic on the processing equipment (Food safety, 2017).
The basic issue that occurred was the botulism contamination scare in New Zealand
by Fonterra. The issue reported was that the company violated four food safety rules and
norms. One of them was the recalling of 38t of whey protein. On testing the issues further,
results that came up were that the allegation was false. As discussed the 4 issues have been
analysed which argues that there was the use of non-standard equipment, the export of
contaminated product was taking place, the regulators were not informed about the occurring
of discrepancies and even the government was unaware of the fact that contamination has
been taking place.
