Codex in Honduras runs World Food Safety Day competition
This year for World Food Safety Day, the Codex Alimentarius office in Honduras organized a competition asking companies across the country to share the ways in which they were raising awareness about food safety among their employees. The announcement of the competition winners took place virtually on 8 June.
Companies chose a variety of different ways to relay the food safety message to their staff, from games, to competitions and video creation, they each commemorated this day in a “very special way,” and found fun ways to get serious messages across. Activities also extended across various internal departments, with hygiene personnel and production personnel getting involved, as well as in some cases, senior management whose presence, helped to demonstrate company commitment to staff training in food safety and sustainable development.
Three winners were selected. First place went to the "Cravings_hn" video in which they show how they ensure food safety. The video was shared with the staff and clients and was also made public on their social networks.

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.
