Food standards are at the heart of food safety.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 600 million people fall ill, and 420 thousand people die yearly from eating contaminated food. Nobody should die from eating food. These are preventable deaths. 

This year’s theme of World Food Safety Day, “Food Standards saves lives”, highlights the role of established food safety practices and standards, which ensure food safety and quality.

Here are some guidelines for you to ensure food safety and prevent illnesses:

- Purchase food from reputable and reliable sources such as supermarkets, grocery stores, and farmers' markets that follow proper food safety protocols.
- Follow recommended storage instructions for different types of food, including refrigeration, freezing, and proper packaging. Keep raw and cooked foods separate to avoid cross-contamination.
- Maintain cleanliness and hygiene by washing hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling food, especially when preparing meals. Ensure that all utensils, cutting boards, and surfaces are clean and sanitized.
- Cook food at the appropriate temperatures to kill harmful bacteria and parasites.
- Read food labels carefully to identify allergens that may trigger allergic reactions. If you or someone you're serving has food allergies, take extra precautions to avoid cross-contact and accidental consumption.

As a consumer, you play an important role in ensuring the safety of the food you consume. By following these guidelines, you can reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses and protect yourself and your family.
