Ecuador celebrated the World Food Safety Day this 7 June, to highlight actions to ensure food safety throughout the entire food chain in order to prevent, detect and manage transmitted risks by food, contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism and sustainable development. This year's theme being "Safer food, better health", access to safe food is essential for the health and well-being of people, animals and the environment; with the national and local governments playing fundamental roles to guarantee safety.

The Health Department of the Municipality of Quito organized the webinar “Inocuidad Alimentaria: Intercambio de Estrategias, “Food Safety: strategies exchanges” to commemorate the World Food Safety Day. The community was informed about the activities some Ecuadorian institutions carry out in order to increase food quality and prevent foodborne diseases. The event featured food safety experts, the National Regulatory Control and Health SurveillanceAgency (ARCSA), the Department of Hygiene of the Municipality of Loja and the Health Department of Municipality of Quito. The community was informed about the activities some Ecuadorian institutions carry out in order to increase food quality and prevent foodborne diseases.

 

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.
