Nanobiotechnology is primarily driving the reshaping of food geography, distribution, and consumption. These factors investigate the far-reaching effects of nanobiotechnology on the quality and composition of food, providing insight into its role. Additionally, it is transforming food supply chains from farm to plate, streamlining products, distribution processes, and reducing waste. Furthermore, nanobiotechnology has the potential to extend shelf life and reduce food waste. Nanoclay and nanobiosensors play an important role in food quality preservation by detecting food toxins and pollutants in real-time. The struggle against foodborne illnesses takes center stage, demonstrating how nanoparticles can be used as powerful pathogen bombs. The ethical constraints and safety implications of adopting nanobiotechnology into our food system are promoted, as well as a focus on food nanotechnology norms. Finally, this review concluded by projecting unborn developments, stressing nanobiotechnology’s undiscovered potential in influencing the food attention. In substance, it offers a taste of the continuing nanobiotechnological food revolution, applying revolutionary power, promising results to major difficulties in food production and consumption.
