June 7 is World Food Safety Day

Food safety saves lives. Not only is it an essential component of food security, but it also plays a vital role in reducing foodborne illness.

World Food Safety Day is an important occasion for:

- informing the public about food safety issues;

- demonstrating how to prevent disease through food safety;

- discussion of joint approaches to improve food safety in different sectors;

- promoting solutions and ways to improve food safety.

In this regard, FAO and WHO will host a high-level hybrid event on 7 June to learn how food safety standards can save lives. The event will expand on this year's World Food Safety Day theme "Food Standards Save Lives".
