Overview

This World Food Safety Day, we are celebrating the important role that science plays in making informed decisions about food. This toolkit covers what governments, food businesses, consumers, academics and schools can do to participate in World Food Safety Day, 2025. Opportunities to get involved include sports activities, food safety quizzes, exhibitions and webinars! Without science, it would not be possible to maintain food safety along supply chains, which often span the globe and cross multiple borders -- these events and activities are important and fun ways to shed light on the role of science in food safety.
