World Food Safety Day serves as a powerful reminder that ensuring safe food for all extends far beyond individual actions. This year's theme, "Food safety: prepare for the unexpected," underscores the collective responsibility we share, from farm to fork, to proactively address potential foodborne risks. By actively promoting safe food handling practices and responsible consumption, we can make a significant impact. This includes: 1) Supporting local farmers committed to sustainable and organic methods: Choosing these farmers helps reduce chemical exposure in our food and promotes environmentally friendly practices. 2) Advocating for clear and transparent food labeling: Informing consumers about ingredients and origin through honest labeling empowers them to make informed choices. 3) Practicing proper storage and cooking techniques at home: Following safe food handling guidelines, like maintaining proper temperatures, minimizes the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses. 4) Continuously educating ourselves and others about best practices: Sharing knowledge about responsible food consumption and handling empowers individuals to make informed decisions about the food they consume. Through collective effort and informed choices, we can build a more resilient and healthy food system for everyone. Happy World Food Safety Day! #WorldFoodSafetyDay #TrueQualityCertifications #Food #FoodSafety #Sustainablity

Unsafe food – riddled with bacteria, toxins, or contaminants – threatens millions globally. This doesn't just impact only individuals! It strains healthcare systems and weakens economies. That's concerning!! That's why the World Health Organization established World Food Safety Day (June 7th). It's a call to action for all stakeholders – from farmers to consumers – to prioritize food safety at every stage, from farm to fork. Here's why World Food Safety Day matters to you as Food Buisness. • Consumer Confidence: In today's world, consumers are savvier than ever. They want to know their food is safe, and a strong food safety record is the ultimate trust builder. • Mitigate Risk, Maximize Profit: Foodborne illness outbreaks can distruct your business. By prioritizing safety, you minimize risk and potential financial disaster. • The "Safe Choice": By highlighting your commitment to food safety! It's a powerful marketing message that differentiates you from the competition. Today, with news of carelessness in food handling popping up all too often, this day becomes even more important.

Food safety is crucial for ensuring that people can access the nutrients they need to stay healthy, learn, and work. Unfortunately, every year, more than 600 million people fall ill, and 420,000 die due to consuming contaminated food. These preventable illnesses and deaths highlight the importance of prioritizing food safety along the entire food chain, from producers to consumers. On this World Food Safety Day, we are reminded that food safety is a shared responsibility. Every participant in the food supply chain, from producers to consumers, must contribute to ensuring the safety of food. This collective effort is the only way to guarantee that the food on our plates is safe to eat. However, even when everyone fulfills their responsibilities, unforeseen events can still compromise food safety. In such cases, it is essential to be prepared to mitigate the risk of illness. Are you ready for the unexpected? Food safety incidents can range from minor events, like a power outage at home, to major international crises, such as a voluntary recall of contaminated products or an outbreak caused by imported goods. Food safety hazards do not recognize borders, and in an increasingly interconnected global food supply, the risks posed by unsafe food can quickly escalate from a local problem to an international emergency. At #Tralexho, we are innovating with technology to solve some of the fundamental food safety issues through our AI empowered "Traceablity as a Service" (TaaS) Platform. Together we can enable safe and sustainable food for people, that are safer for our planet too… #WorldFoodSafetyDay #TraceableFood #SafeFood #Tralexho
