Members of the Bromatology Research Group at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil have produced an animation video to celebrate the World Food Safety Day. The video uses animation and simple language to discuss the key messages proposed by FAO and WHO regarding food safety, aiming to promote awareness about the importance of the subject. 

The group is led by Prof. Scheilla Vitorino Carvalho de Souza who ensured the collaboration with a group of graduate students for the development of the video: PhD Carolina Sheng Whei Miaw, MSc Ramon Alves de Oliveira Paula, Marina de Paula Penna e Palhares, and Michelle Cançado Araújo Barros. The development of the video was inspired by Dr. Margarita Corrales (Food Safety Coordinator of PAHO/WHO) who produced an introductory message of this theme.

The video is posted on the social networks of the Bromatology Research Group to encourage feedback and discussion about the need for everyone's engagement with the food safety theme.

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.

Codex and Observer

Food is a sensitive commodity, which has travelled
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.
