In celebration of the World Food Safety Day 2022, the WHO country office in Jordan developed a video in collaboration with FAO Jordan and the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (national food authorities). The purpose of the video is to communicate concise and clear messages on key practices for food safety. The role of the national authorities to enhance food safety was highlighted. The video concluded with calls for action by Jordan representatives of WHO and FAO to support food safety policies and regulations, foster multisectoral collaboration, involve all related stakeholders, and promote a culture of food safety. It clearly emphasized the messages of food safety saves lives, being everyone’s responsibility and a necessity for better health. 

The messages were prepared in Arabic, which is spoken in Jordan. English subtitles were provided for a broader international audience. The video was recorded and edited by the country office communication team and a filming company. The video was promoted through Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram of WHO Jordan, WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (WHO EMRO), FAO Jordan, UN Jordan and the Ministry of Health (MoH).

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.
