World Food Safety Day is celebrated every year on 7 June to make people aware of food hygiene and safety across the world. This year’s theme is “Food Safety: Science in Action,” i.e., science is at the centre of food safety. It helps us understand what makes food unsafe and guides us on how to prevent foodborne diseases. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 1 in every 10 people in the world falls ill due to contaminated food, and every day about 16 million people face health problems due to spoilt food. In such a situation, it becomes important that we recognise food-related diseases and protect ourselves from them.
