WHO: Five Keys To Safer Food
The WHO Department of Food Safety, Zoonoses and Foodborne Diseases (FOS) strives to reduce the serious negative impact of foodborne diseases worldwide. Food and waterborne diarrhoeal diseases are leading causes of illness and death in less developed countries, killing approximately 1.8 million people annually, most of whom are children.
Foodborne diseases remain responsible for high levels of morbidity and mortality in the general population, but particularly for at-risk groups, such as infants and young, children, the elderly and the immunocompromised. In order to reduce the incidence and economic consequences of foodborne diseases, FOS has been assisting the Member States to establish and strengthen their programmes for assuring the safety of food from production to final consumption. In this regard, WHO offers a unique capacity, through its commitment to health, to work collaboratively with government, industry and consumers, to strengthen and better focus national food safety efforts.
In my opinion, I do consider our family members’ health is far more important than anything else in this world. In order to chase after wealth, we need to make sure that we live longer than anyone else! Do you agree?
