Kenya has pulled together a multi-stakeholder committee to organize a series of media events for World Food Safety Day this year.

“The level of safety of food that is produced and consumed has an ultimate impact on the health of the population now and in the future,” continued Kindiki in a video message.
A webinar has also been scheduled for World Food Safety Day itself. Panel discussions topics will range from a policy and regulatory focus, to trade, industry, partnerships for safe sood, value chains and consumers.

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.
