About World Food Safety Day

EVENT NAME:
Food Safety Day, World
EVENT CATEGORIES:

Technology & Telecom
Dates Active:
Begins: Jun 07, 2023
Ends: Jun 07, 2023

DESCRIPTION:

Improving food safety is crucial as it directly affects people's health and wellbeing. Consuming unsafe food can lead to foodborne illnesses, often caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances. These illnesses, of which there are an estimated 600 million cases annually, pose significant health risks, especially to vulnerable and marginalized populations such as women, children, people affected by conflict, and migrants. Notably, about 420,000 people die each year after eating contaminated food, with children under 5 years carrying 40% of the foodborne disease burden.

Food safety measures ensure that food remains safe at all stages of the food chain, from production, harvest, processing, storage, and distribution to preparation and consumption. By preventing, detecting, and managing foodborne risks, we can contribute to food security, human health, economic prosperity, market access, tourism, and sustainable development.

World Food Safety Day, observed on June 7th, is facilitated jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This day aims to inspire action to improve food safety globally, raise awareness about the importance of food safety in the public agenda, and reduce the global burden of foodborne diseases.
