Dear all,
Tomorrow, 7th June, is the 1st World Food Safety Day under the theme “Food safety, everybody’s business”.
This area of work is not often in the spotlight so this is an opportunity to ensure everyone knows a little more about the importance of the work we are all involved in every day.
A Guide on Celebrating the first World Food Safety Day is available in six languages and can be accessed at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cz7ilujnm754tqd/AAA4Ephxl-ybWxu00l8L8TP5a/01.Guide%20to%20World%20Food%20Safety%20Day?dl=0&subfolder_nav_tracking=1
There will be an FAO/WHO event at FAO Headquarters (programme attached). It would be great if you can attend and also join for the lunch afterwards in the Atrium (streetfood theme).
The focus is on raising the awareness on food safety, its importance and how it is part of everyone’s daily life. FAO and Codex will also be active on social media #worldfoodsafetyday.
Tomorrow there will also be an FAO/WHO event at the UN in New York in which the current and past Chairs of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) will participate. The event will be webcast at: webtv.un.org
Both events are being webcast tomorrow. The one at FAO HQ at http://www.fao.org/webcast/home/en/item/5008/icode/ and the one in New York at webtv.un.org
The World Food Programme is also hosting an event tomorrow to raise awareness on food safety among their staff worldwide (programme attached).
There will be many efforts taking place around the world and we hope to be able to showcase many of the events/initiatives that took place during this years CAC. If you are aware of any events please encourage the organizers to share the information with Codex Alimentarius Secretariat at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> so it can be captured for the CAC exhibit.
Happy 1st World Food Safety Day to everyone and hope you can join some of the events to mark the day and share the message on the importance of food safety, everyones business!
Daniela
