World Food Safety Day is celebrated every year on June 7 to draw global attention to the health consequences of contaminated food and water. Check here some food safety quotes which you can share with your friends and family.
Food security is a shared responsibility between governments, producers and consumers. Everyone has a role, from farm to table, to make sure the food we consume is safe and healthy. World Food Safety Day is observed every year on 7 June. It aims to attract attention and inspire action to help prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks, contribute to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development.
Food is the third most basic thing for life after air and water. It is the starting point of our energy, which keeps us healthy and supports well-being. People often assume that it is safe, but in an increasingly complex and interconnected chain.
Therefore, through World Food Safety Day, WHO advances its efforts to mainstream food safety on the public agenda and reduce the burden of foodborne diseases globally.
