Global support for World Food Safety Day
Friday 7 June 2019 saw countries all over the world come out in support of safe food. From the islands of the South West Pacific to the heart of Europe, from all over Asia to North and South America and all countries in between, governments, producers, food processors and consumers underlined that food safety is everyone’s business.
Prime Minister Modi, India offered his support and described the day “of prime importance for … well-being and health”, especially of women and children underlining the importance of “implementing the latest and best standards of food safety”.
