Ethnic foods of Northeast India: insight into the light of food safety
Traditional foods have immense social, and cultural value and popularity among locals. However, processing, fermentation, and preservation of these foods without any preservatives and refrigerators, increases the possibility of contamination and growth by pathogenic organisms. It is crucial to understand the contamination risk involved during preparation so that the safety of these traditional foods can be ensured and local delicacies can be relished without any fear of foodborne infections and outbreaks, particularly when consumed by masses during festivals.
