The Faculty of Industrial Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, University POLITEHNICA Timisoara, Romania is joining the WHO and FAO campaign on World Food Safety Day by organizing the Youth and Food Safety Competition. Because the day is 7th of June, 7 themes on food chain components that greatly impact food safety are proposed to middle school, high school and college students for a poster presentation.

The aim is to raise awareness on food safety importance, to inform and to involve more and more people in disseminating the information on the actions and consumers behavior necessary to reduce the foodborne risks, to understand that although food safety is a shared responsibility between governments, producers and consumers, everyone has a role to play so that the theme “Food safety, everyone’s business” and what it stands for becomes common knowledge.

The Competition is promoted on Facebook and Instagram together with the pictures, banners available on the WFDS website and the words recommended with hashtags.

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.
