It is generally assumed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto be an axiom by both nonprofessionals and professionals alike, that the most\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edeveloped countries, through their intricate and complex standards, formal trainings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand inspections, are always capable of providing much safer food items and beverages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto consumers as opposed to the lesser developed countries and regions of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClearly, the available data regarding the morbidity and the mortality in different areas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the world confirms that in developing countries, the prevalence and the incidence of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epresumptive foodborne illness is much greater. However, other factors need to be taken\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einto consideration in this overall picture: First of all, one of the key issues in developing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecountries appears to be the availability of safe drinking water, a key element in any\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efood safety strategy. Second, the availability of healthcare facilities, care providers, and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emedicines in different parts of the world makes the consequences of foodborne illness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emuch more important and life threatening in lesser developed countries than in most\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edeveloped countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt would be therefore ethnocentric and rather simplistic to state\u003c\/p\u003ethat the margin of improvement in food safety is only directly proportional to the\u003cp\u003elevel of development of the society or to the level of complexity of any given national\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor international standard. Besides standards and regulations, humans as a whole have\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eevolved and adapted different strategies to provide and to ensure food and water safety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eaccording to their cultural and historical backgrounds.
