We, the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working on trade, the Right to Food, Health, land, investment and agriculture related issues join the rest of the world to celebrate this year’s World Food Safety Day which is scheduled for 7th June 2023.
This year’s World Food Safety Day will be celebrated under the theme; ‘‘Food Standards Save Lives’’ which underscores the importance of applying standards in every aspect of food production – from the source to the table.
We recognize and applaud the various stakeholders especially the Government of Uganda for their renewed and maintained commitment towards the achievement of utmost compliance to the standards that guarantee food safety and the right to adequate food and nutrition. We further recognize the steps and strategies deployed to prioritize compliance with standards along the food chain while addressing the various issues related to agricultural trade, environmental justice, children’s rights, farmers’ rights, and fiscal and human rights-related issues.
Food safety is a critical concern that affects the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and nations. World Food Safety Day, observed on June 7th each year, provides an opportunity to reinforce the importance of safe food practices, highlight potential risks, and advocate for the implementation of robust food safety measures.
