New food safety information leaflets now available in run-up to World Food Safety Day
Four new 2-page leaflets have been published by FAO and WHO as part of the campaign for World Food Safety Day.
The leaflets are aimed at producers in the aquaculture, dairy, fisheries and horticulture sectors and provide advice on best practices for ensuring the production of safe food. Links are provided in the leaflets to FAO and WHO publications that give more in-depth expert and scientific information on good practices in each sector.
The leaflets also offer tips on how to promote World Food Safety Day.
These documents are part of the series launched last year, aimed at consumers, authorities and businesses in different settings: in the workplace, at schools and daycare centres, in street food vending and traditional food markets, and at home.
Last year’s leaflets are translated into all six official UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish) and translations of the new editions will be available shortly.

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.
