WORLD FOOD SAFETY DAY:
World Food Safety Day is an annual observance held on June 7th to raise awareness
about the importance of safe food handling, storage, and consumption. The day was
established by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2018 with the support of
the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The primary goal of World Food Safety Day is to promote global food safety and
prevent foodborne diseases. Foodborne illnesses affect millions of people worldwide each
year, causing illness, hospitalizations, and even deaths. These illnesses can be caused by
various factors such as microbial contamination, improper handling, inadequate storage, and
consumption of unsafe food.
On this day, governments, organizations, and individuals come together to highlight the
significance of safe food practices. They organize events, campaigns, and educational
programs to spread awareness about food safety principles, including proper hygiene,
sanitation, and safe food handling techniques. These initiatives aim to empower individuals
to make informed choices about the food they eat and take necessary precautions to prevent
foodborne illnesses.
World Food Safety Day also serves as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of
robust food safety systems and regulations at the national and international levels. It calls for
collaboration among governments, businesses, and consumers to ensure the safety and
integrity of the food supply chain, from farm to fork.
"Safe Food, Healthy Lives!"
"Choose Safety, Choose Food"
By celebrating World Food Safety Day, we can collectively work towards a world where
everyone has access to safe, nutritious, and wholesome food, free from contamination and
hazards. It reminds us that food safety is not just a personal responsibility but a shared
global commitment to safeguard public health and promote sustainable development.
