It marks a milestone in WHO work to promote health.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Every year, one in ten people globally fall ill due to foodborne diseases. Contaminated food can cause over 200 diseases, and the magnitude of public health burden is comparable to malaria or HIV AIDS. Children under five are at higher risk, as one in six deaths from diarrhoea are caused by unsafe food.<\/p>\n<p>The updated WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety is a step towards a safer and healthier world, but also towards strengthening multisectoral collaboration and innovative public health approaches. The Global Food Safety Strategy has been developed to guide and support Member States in their efforts to prioritize, plan, implement, monitor and regularly evaluate actions towards the reduction of the burden of foodborne diseases (FBD) by continuously strengthening food safety systems and promoting global cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The Strategy\u2019s vision is that all people, everywhere, consume safe and healthy food so as to reduce the burden of FBDs. This strategy gives stakeholders the tools they need to strengthen their national food safety systems and collaborate with partners around the world.<\/p>\n<p>This new WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety 2022-2030 addresses current and emerging challenges, incorporates new technologies and includes innovative approaches for strengthening food safety systems. It also reflects feedback received through a comprehensive consultation process with Member States and governmental institutions, United Nations agencies and other intergovernmental organizations, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, private sector entities, and individuals working in public health and food safety.<\/p>\n<h4>Concrete targets<\/h4>\n<p>The strategy also sets concrete targets and aims to reduce the burden of foodborne diseases. In effect it aims to reduce by 40% the number of cases of foodborne diarrheal diseases, which mostly affects children under 5 and other vulnerable populations. It also aims to improve functional coordination mechanisms to manage foodborne events and enhance laboratory capacity for foodborne disease surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>The strategy has identified five interlinked and mutually reinforcing strategic priorities with respective strategic objectives. Using five strategic priorities and respective strategic objectives, the strategy aims to build proactive, forward-looking, evidence-based, people-centred, and cost-effective food safety systems with coordinated governance and adequate infrastructures.<\/p>\n<h4>Strategic priorities<\/h4>\n<p>\u2022 Strengthening national food control systems<br \/>\n\u2022 Identifying and responding to food safety challenges resulting from global changes and food systems transformation<br \/>\n\u2022 Improving the use of food chain information, scientific evidence and risk assessment in making risk management decisions<br \/>\n\u2022 Strengthening stakeholder engagement and risk communication<br \/>\n\u2022 Promoting food safety as an essential component in domestic, regional and international food trade.<\/p>\n<p>WHO and the members of the Technical Advisory Group on Food Safety are working on tools to complement the existing sources from WHO, FAO and other organizations to support Member States in the implementation of the strategy over 2022-2030. The collaboration among different sectors and stakeholders is key for the implementation of the strategy, and the implementation plan of the strategy is aligned with the FAO food safety strategic priorities through a joint coordination framework.<\/p>\n<h4>Background<\/h4>\n<p>In 2020, the Resolution 73.5 titled \u2018\u2018Strengthening efforts on food safety\u2019\u2019 was adopted by the 73rd World Health Assembly. In the resolution, Member States requested WHO to update the WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety to address current and emerging challenges, incorporate new technologies and include innovative approaches for strengthening food safety systems.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this request, the WHO Secretariat has prepared a WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety with the advice of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Food Safety: Safer food for better health.<\/p>\n<p>The WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety 2022-2030 is available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications-detail-redirect\/9789240057685\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications-detail-redirect\/9789240057685<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/who-launches-global-strategy-for-food-safety\/&#038;t=WHO%20launches%20Global%20Strategy%20for%20Food%20Safety' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=WHO%20launches%20Global%20Strategy%20for%20Food%20Safety&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=10893' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/who-launches-global-strategy-for-food-safety\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=WHO%20launches%20Global%20Strategy%20for%20Food%20Safety&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/who-launches-global-strategy-for-food-safety\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=WHO%20launches%20Global%20Strategy%20for%20Food%20Safety&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/who-launches-global-strategy-for-food-safety\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
