Description: *World Food Safety Day* is observed on June 7 every year to emphasize the importance of safe and nutritious food for a healthy future, and promote actions that help prevent, detect, and manage foodborne risks. It was established by the United Nations in 2018 and is jointly led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Every year, millions of people around the world suffer from illnesses caused by unsafe food. Contaminated food can lead to serious health problems and even death. Ensuring food safety is essential not only for health but also for economic development, agriculture, and sustainable food systems.
This day reminds us that food safety is a shared responsibility. Farmers, food producers, vendors, governments, and consumers all have important roles to play. *Simple steps like washing hands, cooking food thoroughly, and keeping raw and cooked foods separate can make a big difference.*
This Day encourages everyone to learn more about safe food practices and to take action at home, in schools, and in businesses. *Safe food saves lives* and everyone has a part in ensuring that what we eat is safe and healthy.
