Nicaragua celebrates first World Food Safety Day

To celebrate World Food Safety Day, Nicaragua has been promoting an initiative to increase the visibility of food safety and its importance, through the creation of murals in health centers of 153 municipalities nationwide.

The murals reflect the degree of commitment of the country towards Food Safety and the importance of raising awareness among the population, with the message that "Food Safety is everyone's business". The murals highlight important aspects such as hand washing and the five keys to food safety.

Other activities carried out to promote the World Food Safety Day include a training with PANAFTOSA on Food Safety.

On June 7, the government will lead an event with the participation of the parties involved in the national food control system, to present the country’s work and advances in food safety, and the management of Codex Alimentarius in Nicaragua.
