The Philippine Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (DA-BAFS) will be supporting the celebration of the World Food Safety Day 2023 through a webinar.

The webinar entitled, "From farm to plate, making food safe: A Webinar on Food Safety-related Standards" will be aired live via DA-BAFS' Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/da.bafs) on 8 June, 2023 at 13.30–16.30 hours local time (19.30–22.30 hours CEST).
