Honduras’ Codex office will hold four World Food Safety Day webinars and, in an effort to encourage promotion of food safety generally, is also running a competition for companies throughout Honduras. Companies are being asked to send in videos, photos and testimonies that show how company employees were inspired to join in on World Food Safety Day celebrations.

Three key criteria will be used to choose the three winners:

• Creativity
• Staff inclusion
• Relevance to good food safety awareness

The winners will be announced on 8 June and the name of the first-place winner will be published on the Codex Alimentarius website on 9 June.

The four webinars will take place over four days as follows:
