World Food Safety Day campaign in the Russian social media
The 2nd World Food Safety Day (WFSD) took place on 7 June 2020 to raise awareness and inspire action to contribute not only to food security and human health, but also sustainable development. This Day proved to be of special value in the unprecedent time of the COVID-19 pandemic as the food safety is a shared responsibility of all sectors and society as a whole.
The WHO Country Office in the Russian Federation used this year’s theme “Food safety, everyone’s business” to amplify communications efforts to inform the public of the burden of foodborne diseases, promote actions to detect and manage foodborne risks, remind of importance of food safety education that should start from the childhood.
The office launched a wide online campaign on the country’s largest social media platform VKontakte, which reached more than 16 thousand views, with multiple posts regularly appearing from 2nd of June.

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.

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.
