World Food Safety Day

World Food Safety Day is celebrated on 7 June to draw global attention to the consequences of contaminated food and water to health. Also, this day focuses on the way to reduce the risk of food poisoning. The safety of food is a key to achieving Sustainable Development Goals. The theme for this year's World Food Safety Day is "Safer food, better health," and offers pointers on what the Day is about and how to get engaged.
While safe food is a marker of good health, unsafe food can cause many diseases. Poor food quality contributes to worsening health conditions, such as impaired growth and development, micronutrient deficiencies, non-communicable or communicable diseases and mental illness.
