Students in Morocco organize conference for World Food Safety Day
The Club Agroalimentaire of the Faculté des Sciences et Techniques de Tanger organized a World Food Safety Day event this year, in collaboration with the Biotechnology and Biomolecule Engineering Research Team (ERBGB) at the university.
The event was a conference under the theme "Safe food for better health" and was held in the presence of agrifood specialists and researchers. As part of the proceedings, a ‘letter of encouragement’ from Markus Lipp, Senior Food Safety Officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was read to organizers and participants. In the letter, Lipp said:
“World Food Safety Day is about organizing activities, educating people, sharing information that perhaps they didn’t know. It’s also a moment to recognize our achievements and the progress we have made. That includes you at the Faculté des Sciences et Techniques de Tanger – students and staff.”
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.

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.
