The food industry is fanatical about safety. Producers want to be known for offering safe and delicious products. I n addition, governments want to ensure their populations against illness caused by contamination and food-borne microbes.
In the U.S. the entire food industry is moving toward more microbiologically clean production environments. This follows the lead of meat, poultry, egg and dairy production where the risk is high and stringent cleaning methods like caustic washdowns and swabbing for contamination are the norm. These industries fall under the watchful eye of the USDA, a government agency with strict standards. (EHEDG plays this role in Europe.)
