On 6 June, the World Health Organization (WHO) hosted an AskWHO Live Q&A on the occasion of World Food Safety Day. The online audience from the WHO X, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube platforms was invited to ask questions on maintaining food safety during unexpected events such as power outages, flooding, or other food safety emergencies.
