tion to detail, and an unwavering commit- ment to public health. They are advocates for consumer safety, often putting them- selves in dicult positions to ensure that food establishments prioritize health and hygiene over profit. As I finish my meal and reflect on the dedi- cated professionals who make these types of meals possible, I feel immense gratitude for the work of food inspectors. Their vigilance
allows us to enjoy our favorite dishes with confidence, knowing that every step has been taken to protect our health. The next time you dine out, take a moment to appreciate the unseen eorts of food safety professionals. Their work ensures that the food we eat is not just delicious but safe. And if you ever have the pleasure of enjoying a plate of oysters at Kimball House, remember the countless hands—seen and unseen—that
made that experience possible. Food safety is a collective responsibility, and food inspec- tors are its steadfast guardians.
