World Food Safety Day in Malaysia
In conjunction with the 2022 World Food Safety Day (WFSD), Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) through the Food Safety and Quality Division (FSQD) together with the Malaysia Food Safety Association (MAFSA) collaborated with food delivery service companies (p-hailing) to increase food safety awareness, especially food purchase online. During the WFSD2022 launching event, over 40 food delivery riders from various p-hailing company were flagged off to carry the WFSD2022 messages “Safer Food, Better Health” to consumers. The collaboration also aimed to convey a message to consumers of the importance of choosing clean and safe premises and food products. At the same time, it also reinforced the importance of safe and hygienic food preparation and handling especially by food operators and food delivery riders.
This event also served as an official kick-off for a series of events to commemorate the 60th Codex Anniversary in 2023, which include seminars on Codex contribution to establishing standards for food safety and quality and the role of science in Codex, as well as planned promotion in FSQD websites and social media. Prior to this, a workshop was held in May 2022 on enhancing effective participation in Codex for our national Codex Contact Point and secretariats of the national Codex Subsidiary committees. In addition, CCP Malaysia is also planning to launch the revitalized “Codex Malaysia” webpage for a more transparent and public-friendly information sharing on Codex.
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.
