To ensure your food meets minimum safety standards, you should implement a comprehensive food safety program that includes proper hygiene practices, proper storage of ingredients and finished goods, preventive maintenance of equipment, regular check-ins with the FDA (if required), frequent internal audits and tests for contaminants. You should also make sure to follow any additional regulations or standards set by third-party organizations, such as the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

Food producers can ensure their products meet minimum safety standards by adhering to regulations established by local, regional, and international governing bodies. These include following applicable laws and regulations, holding proper certifications for manufactured products, engaging in regular food safety audits, implementing sound production practices and tracking systems, training staff on proper procedures and standards of hygiene, conducting pathogen elimination/reduction processing when appropriate, maintaining proper temperatures throughout the production chain from raw materials to consumer access points and much more. By being aware of what needs to be done and keeping up with industry standards for food production safety you can ensure your products are safe.
