What holds true for every chain also applies to the food production chain. Every chain must be dependable. All of its links must be strong. We know too well that this is not the case for the food production chain. There are links that render it weak enough to cause us some concern.
These links can be seen in this food production chain diagram provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The diagram here has been slightly augmented with additional point descriptions for a total of 11 identified points or links.
Are you able to identify the strong and the weak links in this diagram? Where in the supply and consumption chain you see your role and how does the aspect you are involved in contribute to the strength of the chain? Is it a strong or a weak link? Everyone is at least a consumer and personal food preparation or consumption habits contribute to the weakness or strength of the supply and consumption chain.
You may follow your criteria for identifying the links except for this small hint: The strength and weakness of the links have something to do with the points where things are adequately or inadequately regulated and monitored for hazards - biological (including allergens), chemical and physical contaminants.
