World Food Safety Day is observed annually on June 7th to draw global attention to the importance of preventing, detecting, and managing foodborne risks, thereby contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism, and sustainable development. Established by the United Nations, it emphasizes that food safety is a shared responsibility, requiring the collaboration of governments, producers, and consumers. The day aims to motivate action to help prevent the estimated 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses that occur every year. By promoting awareness of safe food handling practices, the day encourages everyone to know their role in ensuring the food on their plate is safe, highlighting that unsafe food is a threat to everyone's health and well-being.
