Calidad Alimentaria

Calidad Alimentaria, or food quality, refers to the overall characteristics and attributes of food products that determine their suitability for consumption. This concept encompasses various factors, including safety, nutritional value, organoleptic properties (such as taste, color, texture, and aroma), and the presence of contaminants or defects. Food quality is essential for ensuring consumer satisfaction and health, as it directly impacts the taste, safety, and nutritional benefits of food. It also involves adherence to regulatory standards and guidelines to ensure that food products meet certain criteria for freshness, ingredient integrity, and processing methods, ultimately promoting safe and high-quality food consumption.
