The CanadaGAP Program joins the food safety community worldwide to celebrate the 6th annual World Food Safety Day next week, on 7 June 2024. The day is formally recognized by organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and Codex.
This year’s theme is “Food safety: be prepared for the unexpected” and builds on the overarching theme “Food safety is everyone’s business”.
As a food safety program designed to help implement and maintain effective food safety procedures within fresh produce operations, CanadaGAP is pleased to promote and support recognition of World Food Safety Day. This annual event is an opportunity for companies around the world to drive food safety awareness.
We encourage CanadaGAP-certified companies to take the opportunity on June 7 to showcase your efforts and to recognize all those within your company who contribute daily to a safe food supply. For further information please see: World Food Safety Day – website. From the website you can access resources such as a complete Communication toolkit that includes the official poster, social media assets, and much more!
Along with our industry partners and program participants, CanadaGAP remains dedicated to promoting food safety every day. World Food Safety Day provides an opportunity to all those involved in ensuring and enhancing food safety, including the producers who feed the world, to celebrate its importance.
