food-safety
Edible hazard control
Food-safety as a modifier describes practices, standards, or regulations designed to prevent contamination and illness from what we eat: food-safety inspections, food-safety protocols.
The compound emphasizes systematic protection rather than casual caution—it belongs to the vocabulary of restaurants, factories, and regulatory agencies rather than home kitchens.
