World Food Safety Day

Safe food is something everyone should be able to count on. This UN observance highlights how farmers, food businesses, cooks and consumers can help prevent foodborne illness at every stage of a meal's journey.

How it is celebrated: awareness campaigns, workplace discussions and educational events explain practical food safety habits. Common themes include clean hands, suitable storage and keeping raw ingredients separate from ready-to-eat food.

Food can look and smell perfectly normal while still being unsafe. That makes the checks and precautions behind the scenes just as important as what appears on the plate.
