7 June is World Food Safety Day, with this year’s theme “Food Safety: Science in Action”
Science lies behind food safety. It helps us identify the causes of unsafe food and know how to prevent them. Science guides governments in policy-making, supports industry in establishing production standards, and informs consumers’ purchasing decisions—ensuring that everyone has the right to access safe food.
Food safety has always been a priority for IUFoST. We actively support it through our role in developing and improving food safety standards, creating and updating food safety curricula, organizing roundtables, academic seminars, and research, as well as producing public information materials to ensure accurate knowledge reaches consumers.
Because no one should become ill from eating food, IUFoST proudly joins in commemorating #WorldFoodSafetyDay and reaffirms its ongoing commitment to strengthening food safety for all.
