Students at Macau University of Science and Technology spread the knowledge on World Food Safety Day
Students at the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) have set about educating people about food safety by producing leaflets and videos for World Food Safety Day.
They produced two videos. In the first, they tested attitudes to food safety among young people in a food market, asking questions such as “Have you ever paid attention to the information on food packaging?”, “Do you know the meaning of the triangles and squares on plastic packaging?” and “Do you think food safety matters? What are your opinions about the current situation of food safety in society?” They also talked to primary school teachers about how food safety is important in their work.
In the second video, they interviewed various experts to find out about food poisoning, AMR and the misuse of antibiotics, intelligent packaging, detection of contaminants and how older people can ensure they eat well. In the video, we learn about some of the research being carried out at MUST, including on intelligent packaging and on making detection of contaminants faster, more sensitive and more predictable.
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.
