Cheers to food safety!

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), each year, around 2 million die from consuming unsafe food containing bacteria, parasites and other harmful substances, which give rise to more than 200 diseases.

With the rise in population and globalization come alterations in methods of food production, distribution and consumption, posing new threats to health. That is why, this year’s World Health Day, celebrated today, April 7, focuses on improving Food Safety from farm to plate.
