Suriname awareness campaign for World Food Safety Day 2020
The Government of Suriname is planning to run a food safety awareness campaign, calling upon decision makers, the private sector, civil society, and consumers to take action to keep food safe. The campaign will highlight the benefits of strengthening its food control system, in particular areas related to coverage of oversight and coordination. This initiative links up to the ongoing EU-funded FAO project called Suriname Agriculture Market Access Project.
The campaign will start on 1 June and end on 7 June 2020, which is World Food Safety Day. The messages about ‘food safety, everyone’s business’ will be relayed through the media – talk shows on television; social media – the websites and Facebook pages of the government ministries of Agriculture, Health and Trade; and short interviews of public and private sector representatives on the importance of food safety and the measures taken to keep food safe.
This awareness campaign is aimed at government agencies, private sector enterprises, NGOs and consumers, all of whom have a role to play in keeping food safe.

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.
