World Food Safety Day 2022 in Mongolia celebrated under the President’s initiative
On the 7th of June, Mongolia celebrated the World Food Safety Day with rich discussions on the concrete solutions to tackle the national food security, safety and food systems challenges faced in the last few years.
The National Forum on “Food security, safety- Food production” organized jointly by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, and World Health Organization was attended by 800 participants from all parts of Mongolia.
The President of Mongolia strongly highlighted that development of the food and agriculture sector is the highest priority of the Mongolian government in ensuring the domestic food safety, healthy Mongolian population and in the long run ensuring national security.
As part of this celebration, FAO Mongolia also organized three webinars on food safety for different stakeholders, including a webinar on foodborne antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The new FAO project, “Implementation of Codex standards to support containment and reduction of foodborne antimicrobial resistance (AMR)”, supported by the Government of Korea, was also presented.
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
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.
