On this #WorldFoodSafetyDay, we are reminded to ensure that whatever food we put on our plates is safe for our lives and well-being. Food safety risks such as aflatoxin contamination, unsafe chemical use, and poor post-harvest handling continue to affect public health, trade, and livelihoods.
Addressing this requires a shift from response to prevention, strengthening food safety systems, investing in testing and post-harvest technologies, and improving coordination across institutions.

From burden to solutions, safe food everywhere.
Food safety starts long before food reaches our plates.
It begins in the systems that produce it, including the soil, crops and environments where food is grown.

How do chefs keep food safe in their kitchens?
Ahead of #WorldFoodSafetyDay, Chefs @rodrigopachecoE, Tammy Wong and Sam Tran share simple tips — from checking temperature to keeping spaces clean and preventing cross-contamination.
Food safety starts with daily habits.
🧊 Can I thaw frozen food at room temperature? 🐟
As frozen food thaws, its surface can quickly reach temperatures where microorganisms multiply, even while the inside remains frozen.
For safer food preparation, thaw food in the refrigerator or in cold water—not on the kitchen counter.
Remember, #FoodSafety starts with small changes in the kitchen.
