The Safety of Food 1．目前食品安全的状况 2．产生这些食品质量问题的原因 3．我们应该怎么做 The Safety of Food Despite the decline in the number of cases related to fake foods and foods of poor quality, problems remain serious in the market. Food born diseases remain responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality死亡率；大量死亡 in the general population, particularly for at risk groups, such as infants, young children, and the elderly. The notorious case involved the sauces for hotpot and the recycled oil,which caused a great harm to our health. The Safety of Food In my personal opinion, I think the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards. In order to sell more products, some food producers may even intentionally use various chemicals, such as pesticides 杀虫剂，农药, animal drugs etc. during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good without taking people’s life into consideration. The Safety of Food As we all know, food additives and contaminants can adversely不利，不幸 affect health. In this regard, in order to reduce the incidence and economic consequences of food born diseases, the supervision of food production should be stepped up. What’s more, it is important to drastically increase penalties on those who neglect food safety statutes法令. After all, the Food Safety Department in our country should educate consumers about the risks presented in food and the safe food handling behaviors that can help minimize those risks. Nevertheless, it is our own awareness of good life style and hygiene卫生；健康法 habit that a healthy life relies on.
