Conceptually, food security is built upon four pillars including food availability, access, utilization and stability. Within this framework, food safety is often wrongly assumed as a given. However, in places where food supplies are insufficient, coping mec hanisms to address food insecurity are often primarily focused on access to food without due considerations for safety. Even in more food-secure countries, limited resources are diverted to ensure the safety of exported food products at the expense of food sold domestically. Individuals facing food insecurity are vulnerable to chemical, biological and other hazards in unsafe foods, which can pose serious, acute and chronic health risks (ranging from diarrhoea to cancer and even death). -
