Food safety is a major problem around the world, both with regard to human suffering and with respect to economic costs.

Food quality is a complex term that includes, in addition to safety, other intrinsic characteristics, such as appearance, color, texture and flavor, and also extrinsic characteristics, such as perception or involvement.
