Food Focus Newsletter 8 of 2024


World Food Safety Day - 7 June 2024
World Food Safety Day is less than a month away! On World Food Safety Day, we're reminded that food safety is a shared responsibility. Despite our best efforts, unexpected events can compromise food safety. Food safety hazards do not recognize borders! 
ROAD TO WORLD FOOD SAFETY DAY
 
THEME: “Food safety: prepare for the unexpected”
SLOGAN: “Food Safety is everyone’s business”
 
FAO & WHO - There are five calls to action on World Food Safety Day:
1. Ensure it’s safe - Governments must ensure safe and nutritious food for all
2. Grow it safe - Agriculture and food producers need to adopt good practices
3. Keep it safe - Business operators must make sure food is safe
4. Know what’s safe - Consumers need to learn about safe and healthy food
5. Team up for food safety – Let’s work together for safe food and good health!
