Hungary’s Food Chain Safety Office prevents pain with its World Food Safety Day video
Staff at Hungary’s National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) have produced a humorous video to drum home a central message of World Food Safety Day: that failing to wash your hands when handling food can lead to discomfort and illness.
The video was created by the communication staff of the Nébih office, with one colleague becoming inspired by a popular ‘meme’ character in Hungary, by the name of Harold. ‘Harold’ is actually an electrical engineer by the name of András Arató, who, some 12 years ago, wanted to earn some extra money by modelling for ‘stock’ photos. But his pained expression led to his image going viral under the ‘meme’ message ‘Hide the pain, Harold.’ The Nébih communications employee had the brainwave of asking Arató to star in their food safety video, entitled ‘Prevent the pain, Harold.’
The production of the video took 11 weeks from storyboard to finalization and is now available in multiple languages and across all of Nébih’s social media platforms. Most importantly, Nébih staff are confident they have achieved their aim of getting people to understand the importance of washing your hands.
Prevent the pain, Harold!
In addition to the video, for World Food Safety Day Nébih has also produced a new cookbook “to lovers of conscious baking and cooking,” which includes recipes from Chef József Bernáth, food safety tips, dietary advice and ideas on how to cook with leftovers.

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.
