World Food Safety Day is an important way of:

• making people aware of food safety issues;
• demonstrating how to prevent illness through food safety;
• discussing collaborative approaches to improved food safety across sectors;
• promoting solutions and ways of being more food safe

 There are five calls to action on World Food Safety Day:

1. Ensure it’s safe - Governments must ensure safe and nutritious food for all.
2. Grow it safe - Agriculture and food producers need to adopt good practices.
3. Keep it safe - Business operators must make sure food is safe.
4. Know what’s safe - Consumers need to learn about safe and healthy food
5. Team up for food safety – Let’s work together for safe food and good health!
