World Food Safety Day

Every year on 7th June, we celebrate World Food Safety Day to ensure our food is safe to consume. The United Nations established this day to remind us of the importance of the food we eat before it reaches our plates. World Food Safety Day is important because there are so many steps in the process where our food can be unsafe and poisoning.

World Food Safety Day Theme

The theme chosen for World Food Safety Day 2024 is “Food Safety: prepare for the unexpected“. This issue discusses the decisive need to be proactive in protecting our food from potential hazards.

History of World Food Safety Day

Did you know that about 600 million people fall ill every year because of eating unsafe food? That’s a huge number. So, ensuring that our food is safe to consume is extremely important to live healthy. From the time, food is prepared to the time we eat it, we need to be extremely careful. Many diseases and other food borne diseases are often caused by eating contaminated food. Symptoms of such diseases include inflammation, pain and nausea. But now, we can prevent food poisoning by implementing safety precautions. These include adopting safety measures such as food labels, hygiene controls and the use of additives and preservatives. But because it takes so many people to get food for us, it is not always easy to keep it safe.

To support this, organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (F.A.O.) and the Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) set regulations to ensure the safety of our food.
