A special message from FAO:
World Food Safety Day (WFSD) is an important recognition for the fundamental role of food safety in achieving food security, as well as its centrality in the agri-food system. Even though WFSD comes along once a year on June 7, food safety must be protected year-round to continue promoting good health and sufficient food for all.
A number of resources are being offered in celebration of World Food Safety Day (WFSD), which takes place on June 7. The theme of WFSD 2023 is “Food standards save lives.”
