The International Atomic Energy Agency marks World Food Safety Day
There are many ways in which nuclear techniques can contribute to food safety and there are a number of projects and programmes run by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) across the world to help bolster food safety and monitoring efforts in countries.
On the occasion of World Food Safety Day, the IAEA highlighted stories from Burkina Faso and Algeria, both of which are beneficiaries of a joint IAEA/FAO programme “to address food hazards, food fraud and advise countries on food irradiation.”

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.

but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
