Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety remains a critical issue in the food chain and, more generally, in health. Each food product should have sufficient quality and, above all, should not endanger the health of the consumer. In many countries, including in the European Union, food producers and distributors are required to implement a food safety system. This plays a major role in protecting consumers from foodborne diseases. In addition, consumers themselves are also responsible for the impact of food safety on their health. Eating behaviour and physical activity are major factors affecting human health. Modern society moves at a fast pace, and the majority of people work for much of the day. Therefore, in recent years, eating out has become not only a convenience but also a necessity. Insufficient attention is paid to the safety and nutritional quality of meals, and not enough emphasis is placed upon physical activity. It is well known that weight gain and lifestyle behaviours contribute to future health problems. Adequate physical activity and eating behaviour can improve human health and reduce the risk of obesity and many diseases, while enhancing the immune system. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on aspects of food safety and health that most affect human beings, starting from the safe production and handling of food through consumer eating behaviour, physical activity, and their benefits for individual and public health. Papers addressing these topics are invited for this Special Issue, especially those combining a high academic standard coupled with practical solutions to the above-mentioned issues of food safety, healthy eating habits, and physical activity. New research papers, reviews, and case reports are welcome.
