Typhoid is an infection caused by tainted water and food. As a result, hundreds of people are affected each year. Children, like adults, suffer in vast numbers from the issues created by rotten food, and some even lose their lives.

This year's World Food Safety Day theme is "Safer food, greater health."

History of World Food Safety Day

The World Health Organization (WHO) voiced its support for the World Food Safety Day resolution voted at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) conference's 40th session in July 2017. Following this, the resolution was presented to the Second Committee of the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly, which accepted it, and on 20 December 2018, 7 June was designated as World Food Safety Day. WHO, in collaboration with the FAO, invites us to participate in this crucial day to ensure safe food for all on a worldwide scale.
