More on the World Health Organization Global Strategy for Food Safety

The editorial brand pieces were inspired by the increasing importance of food safety in the supply chain. The safety of food products has become more challenging due to the global nature of the food supply chain. Food safety incidents, like outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, have shown the risks of consuming unsafe food. Food safety is crucial for public health and can impact millions worldwide. New technologies for detecting and monitoring foodborne pathogens have improved food safety measures. Establishing international agreements and standards, such as the Codex Alimentarius, provides a global framework for ensuring food safety. The World Health Organization (WHO) is a global leader in advancing health and safety efforts, particularly for vulnerable populations. It provides technical support to countries, sets global health standards, aggregates data on worldwide health issues, and serves as a platform for discussions on health-related scientific or policy matters. The World Health Report, its official publication, offers comprehensive evaluations of health topics across the globe, underscoring the WHO's significant global impact. The WHO has played a leading role in several public health achievements, most notably the eradication of smallpox, the near-eradication of polio, and the development of an Ebola vaccine. Its current priorities include communicable diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola, malaria and tuberculosis; non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease and cancer; healthy diet, nutrition, and food security; occupational health; and substance abuse. The agency advocates for universal health care coverage, engagement with monitoring public health risks, coordinating responses to health emergencies, and promoting health and well-being generally.
