The first-ever World Food Safety Day, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2018, will be celebrated on 7 June 2019 under the theme “Food Safety, everyone’s business”.<\/p>\n

#WorldFoodSafetyDay is an event to draw attention to the health consequences of contaminated food and water – and inspire action to help prevent, detect, and manage foodborne risks – that affect human health, economic prosperity, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The new annual observance will draw attention and direct efforts to stopping the roughly 600 million cases of global foodborne illnesses that occur annually.<\/p>\n

Food Safety and the United Nations<\/h3>\n

Keeping food safe is a complex process that starts on the farm and ends with the consumer. All stages of the food chain, from production, harvest and storage to preparation and consumption, must be considered. The Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO)<\/a> is the only international organization overseeing food safety along all aspects of the food chain.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out these World Food Safety Day resources<\/a> provided by WHO, FAO, and UN. If you plan to observe, don’t forget to use #WorldFoodSafetyDay on all social channels to share your efforts with us!<\/p>\n
