Japan’s Food Safety Management Association starts World Food Safety Day activities
On 9 May, Masanori Kotani, Vice President/Secretary General of Japan’s Food Safety Management Association (JFSM) delivered a lecture on food safety and the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) “5 keys to safer food” and “2023 theme and slogan of World Food Safety Day” to second- and third-year students at Hokkaido Shizunai Agricultural High School.
Following the last year’s lecture, the session included quizzes, which helped make the food safety lessons more fun and attractive for the students. In addition, the third-year students took part in a shop floor lesson in the milk processing room to learn the very basic of good hygiene practices and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) by referring to the ‘ice cream’ production process.
Students commented: “I now understand why food safety is so important and necessary” and “I have learned that it is important to pursue the “why” of food safety related actions”.
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.
