The first ever celebration of the United Nations World Food Safety Day, to be marked globally on 7 June, aims to strengthen joint efforts to make food safer.
Food safety risks cannot be eliminated, but when governments, businesses and consumers work together, these risks can be reduced significantly. World Food Safety Day 2019’s theme is therefore that food safety is everyone’s business. In this Region, this joint work is guided by the Regional Framework for Action on Food Safety in the Western Pacific. Consumers can play their part in making food safer by following the “Five Keys to Safer Food”.
