Abstract
113 words
Food quality and safety issues are becoming a major concern
globally due to increased and widespread emerging risks related
to food borne illnesses. Countries around the world are creating
food safety agencies in compliance with national and
international food safety standards which Malawi also
desperately needs. Unfortunately, current food safety system
regarding fish and fish products faces mounting challenges due
to outdated laws and also problems in food regulations and
inspection procedures. Lack of up-to-date food quality standards
also undermine Malawi’s food exports, diminishing its ability to
compete in regional and international markets such as the
European Union. This study will examine public health issues
associated with fish marketing and consumption in Malawi.
