NEW DATE

On Thursday 11 June, the International Food Information Council (IFIC) will host a Twitter chat in observance of World Food Safety Day. Anyone with a Twitter account can join the conversation, which will be led by @FoodInsight with the hashtags #WorldFoodSafetyDay and #WFSDChat and participation of @FAOWHOCodex, the Twitter account of the joint FAO-WHO food standards programme.  

As the world slowly opens back up and lockdowns are lifted, people are looking for clear answers about how they can safely dine out—eating at restaurants, getting takeout and delivery, socially distant picnics—and dine in: grilling, cooking or preparing food at home. The discussion will cover the importance of food safety practices in any dining experience.   

QUESTIONS  

  1. How has COVID-19 affected food safety?   

  1. As restaurants start reopening dining-in options, how can people stay safe?  

  1. What food safety measures should be taken when ordering take out or delivery?  

  1. As people begin to host smaller gatherings, how can people prepare and serve safe food for groups?  

  1. When grilling or cooking, what are some top food safety tips to remember?  

  1. What other resources can people use to help them have safe dining experiences during COVID-19?  

Use the hashtag #WFSDchat in your answers.   

About
List of Codex Observers
How to apply

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.

Codex and Observer

Food is a sensitive commodity, which has travelled
around the world since ancient times.
We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
