In honor of World Food Safety Day, Go Sharpener came up with an activity to Role Play with Friends/Siblings/Family and create a scenario where you encounter food-borne illnesses and highlight the consequences of unsafe food practices.

Now let’s check out some of the entries that we have received:

Food safety is vital because it is critical that food remains safe at all stages of cultivation, harvesting, processing, storage, distribution, and consumption. Every year, thousands of people become ill and die as a result of eating food contaminated with germs, viruses, and other chemical components. As a result, World Food Safety Day is observed to promote action that assures food safety and reduces the burden of foodborne illnesses throughout the world.
