Food safety is a global concern that affects everyone, from the farmer who grows the food to the consumer who eats it. Foodborne illnesses are a major public health issue, causing millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths every year. In response to this problem, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 7th as World Food Safety Day in 2018. World Food Safety Day aims to raise awareness about the importance of safe food and to promote measures to ensure that everyone has access to safe, nutritious food.
