What is the best reason for considering food safety and nutrition quality together?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: If unsafe, even nutritious food can harm health
A food can contain valuable nutrients yet still cause illness if it is contaminated with pathogens, toxins, chemicals or foreign materials. Food safety practices—clean handling, adequate cooking, safe water, separation and proper storage—protect the consumer so that the intended nutritional benefit can actually be obtained. Nutrition quality and safety are therefore complementary.
