Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe future of food safety
Transforming knowledge into action for people, economies and the environment
2018Ongoing changes in climate, global food production and supply systems affect consumers, industry and the planet itself. These changes can have an impact on food safety systems and pose sustainability and development challenges. This is a pivotal moment demanding urgent reflection on actions needed to bolster food safety -the impetus for the two international meetings. At the Addis Ababa Conference, priorities will be discussed so that food safety strategies and approaches can be aligned across sectors and borders, reinforcing efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals and supporting the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. At the Geneva Forum, the trade implications of the key food safety issues emerging from the Addis Ababa will be further analysed. The two meetings will result in a high-level political statement advocating for more and better coordinated support to improve food safety globally. -

ProjectSupporting the Codex Alimentarius Commission in Setting Global Food Safety Standrds - GCP/GLO/798/CAN 2021

No results found.The development of international food safety standards by Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) is an important global public good and core to the mission of both FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO). Their joint Food Safety Scientific Advice Programme is an essential pillar of the work of the CAC. Part of this programme includes hosting the three joint secretariats, namely the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR), the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA), and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meetings on Nutrition (JEMNU). Given the different mandates and areas of specialization of FAO and WHO, their contributions to the joint programme are complementary in nature, and the ability to respond promptly and adequately to requests for scientific advice from the CAC depends on the availability of adequate resources in the programmes of both organizations. Against this background, the objective of the project was to support the joint FAO/WHO scientific advice programme , in order to assist the CAC in formulating health protective and trade inclusive food safety measures.
