We all need safe food.

Image
Food can become contaminated with an array of hazards: bacteria, chemicals, fungi or parasites, which can cause at least 200 different diseases. These illnesses impact health, livelihoods, education and economies. However, they can be prevented - when we are informed and take action. Each year on June 7th, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) work together to facilitate the observance of this Day all around the world. On World Food Safety Day , we remember that food safety is a collective right and responsibility – everyone needs to play their part. Join us this year to celebrate World Food Safety Day – whether as a policymaker, a food business owner or employee, as an educator or as a consumer! Because food safetyis everyone’s business.

Food safety: science in action.

Image
Everyone involved in the food supply chain - from producers, to processors, transporters, retailers, cooks and consumers - relies on the universal application of good practices, agreed processes and standards to keep food safe. These all draw on the careful, clear and thoughtful application of the best available scientific evidence that explores how and why food can become contaminated and make us sick.  Scientists assess and analyse risks to human health associated with known, established, emerging and anticipated food safety hazards, and they provide advice to assist policymakers, food businesses and consumers make safe choices. Without science, it would not be possible to maintain food safety along supply chains, which often span the globe and cross multiple borders.  This World Food Safety Day, we are celebrating the important role that science plays in making informed decisions about food.
