Remarks from the FDA on World Food Safety Day: "Food Safety is Everyone's Business"
Statement From:
Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response - Food and Drug Administration
Frank Yiannas
This first World Food Safety Day is a recognition that when it comes to food safety, we all win or lose together. In a global food system and with the increase in international travel, if foodborne disease exists somewhere in the world, it can exist anywhere in the world. No nation stands alone when faced with the challenge of protecting its citizens from foodborne illnesses. This truth is reflected in the theme of this inaugural event: “Food Safety Is Everyone’s Business.”
