Cocoa processing facility in Ghana plans observance
For World Food Safety Day 2020, the Aftropic Cocoa Processing Company will highlight the importance of food safety among staff with a series of initiatives. The facility, based in Accra, Ghana, will:
- Launch 10 golden rules on food safety;
- Feature a pep talk at the beginning of every shift of workers (12 max), who will observe social distancing and wear masks;
- Post the WHO/FAO World Food Safety Day posters on the facility to create more awareness; and
- Share chocolate with every worker at lunch.
At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.
Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations
contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.

We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
