What the govt. doing?
The public health is now under threat. Lack of monitoring and corruption are
considered to be the major cause of theses. A class of greedy people is always out
of the control of the government who involve in such a business which has always
been in way that anyhow altering the food quality and making it an immense
change which is seriously harmful for human and mental health. Govt. is now still
trying but it doesn’t seem to be enough to stop the violation of law.
Recommendation
Govt. or individual can’t solve the problem and do the solution.
The people involved in this concern needs to realize about their
unethical activities.
The law monitoring agencies need to be hyper active and up-to-date
and the people involved with such crime needs to be given significant
punishment along with fining.
Everywhere the people need to come forward to metalize the
implementation of laws through the society.
In every relative places the laws need to be hang out for display with
clear explanations.
Conclusion
An effective food safety regulatory framework is imperative to ensure safe food for
consumers in a country. Bangladesh is lacking it for a long time which resulted
serious public health issues as discussed in this paper. However, considering the
current situations, it can be recommended that the FSRRB requires a single well-
drafted and up to date legislation that will provide for an autonomous and apex
food safety regulatory body to perform all kind of coordination.
