REGINA, Saskatchewan, June 3 (UPI) -- Denmark, Australia and Britain have the world's safest food systems, while the United States and Canada rank fourth, an international ranking indicates.
Italy, France and Ireland are at the bottom of the international food-safety rankings of 17 countries by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, an international economic organization of 31 countries based in Paris.
Canada nudged up from the No. 5 spot in 2008, earning a "superior" grade in all areas of food safety except "traceability," in which it ranked "poor" alongside the United States, the OECD's Food Safety Performance World Ranking said.
