Yolanda worries that the food on her grocery store shelves might be unsafe to consume. Her son reminds her that there are inspection processes in place to make sure the food is prepared safely. Who makes sure this food is prepared safely?

Answer 1

The government, specifically the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), are responsible for ensuring the safety of the food that is sold in grocery stores. These agencies enforce food safety regulations, conduct inspections of food facilities, and establish guidelines for food manufacturers and processors to follow.
