FAO Works with the Bahamas to Advance National Food Safety
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recently held a workshop in the Bahamas to develop a plan for improving the country’s food safety capacity, based on the findings of a 12-month project.
In the workshop, FAO experts met with food safety authorities and other relevant stakeholders to develop recommendations based on the final assessment report from the preceding 12-month project, titled, "Assessing National Food Control Systems to Enable Food Safety in the Sub-Region.” The workshop featured stakeholder discussions and negotiations to identify priority areas for improvement. An implementation plan was created to support a strengthened food control system and enhance institutional progress around food safety.
