Foodborne zoonoses constitute a significant public
health concern worldwide, as they account for a substantial proportion of
emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. These diseases are predominantly
result of transmission from animals to humans via the consumption of food
products of both animal and non-animal origin that have been contaminated with
pathogenic agents at different stages of the food production chain, including
primary production, slaughtering, processing, and distribution. The
implementation of a comprehensive food safety system is a mandatory requirement
across all stages of the food production chain. Ensuring food safety relies
predominantly on preventive, science-based methodologies that prioritize the
application of good hygiene practices and the systematic integration of
procedures based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Point (HACCP).
