Together, we can help keep food safe.
NEVADA CITY, Calif. (PRWEB)

Northern California based Best Sanitizers, Inc. joins the World Health Organization (WHO), US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to participate in the annual World Food Safety Day, June 7th, 2022. This year’s campaign is designed to draw global attention and mobilize action to prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks and improve human health. The campaign addresses proper food production and handling practices, contributing to food security, human health, economic prosperity, agriculture, market access, tourism, and sustainable development.
According to WHO, there are 600 million cases of foodborne diseases leading to 420,000 deaths worldwide each year. Foodborne illnesses are preventable, making it crucial for food processors to understand the importance of food safety. Through education and awareness, World Food Safety Day aims to help educate food processors, suppliers, and the public on how to help reduce foodborne diseases.
This year’s theme, “Safer Food, Better Health” emphasizes the role that safe, nutritional food plays in ensuring human health and well-being and calls for a set of specific actions to make food safer. Specifically calling policy makers, food businesses, educational institutions, and consumers to practice and promote safe food handling practices.
This year’s call to action includes:
1. Policy makers: design public procurement of food so that consumers can access safe and healthy foods.
2. Food businesses: develop food safety culture and comply with international food standards.
3. Educational institutions: support education in food safety; engage with families to promote safe food handling.
4. Consumers: practice WHO’s Five Keys to Safer Food and promote safe food handling at home.
“Together, we can help keep food safe,” stated April Zeman-Lowe, Best Sanitizers’ Director of Sales – Food and Beverage Division. “We are proud to support World Health Organization, FDA, and Pan American Health Organization in their efforts.”
