The answer to the question posed in the title of this article is an immediate "yes"—our diets are at the intersection of food safety and sustainability. According to the 2019 Lancet Commission report, "Food systems have the potential to nurture human health and support environmental sustainability; however, they are currently threatening both."1 Our dietary choices are contributing to the pressure on global food systems. Modern diets are expected to consist of nutritious, environmentally sustainable, high-quality and safe foods, enabling people to satisfy their nutrient requirements and avoiding foodborne illnesses. In reality, current diets are increasingly unhealthy, unsustainable, and inequitable for many population groups. They are often not up to the required food safety standards, particularly in non-Western countries. The West appears to exhibit heightened awareness about food safety, with many countries claiming that they maintain high standards during the production, distribution, storage, and sale of food, and that they have mandatory legal requirements to protect people.2 However, there is less understanding of what makes human diets sustainable in a way that ensures global food security and sustainability.
