Bolivia celebrates the second World Food Safety Day
Maintaining the safety of food along the food chain is an essential and all actors must contribute. Actors in the food chain must implement food safety management systems based on the principles of the hazard analysis and critical control points (the HACCP system) to manage food safety risks and prevent food contamination.
This includes the application of good agricultural practices, good manufacturing practices, good hygiene practices, standard operating procedures for sanitation, good storage and transport practices, and fitness for work. All of these practices need to be especially reinforced during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Bolivia is celebrating the second World Food Safety Day (WFSD) through the following three activities:
1. A web seminar on 5 June on topics related to food safety:

2. A massive campaign to disseminate information documents through social networks by members of the National Codex Committee (NCC), including competent authorities e.g. FAO, PAHO, IICA the week of 1-7 June.
3. Dissemination in national and local media: press release, fact sheet and statements to the media by experts from the organizations involved.
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
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.
