The World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) announce the theme for the World Food Safety Day 2025. Observed annually on June 7, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of food safety and inspire action. This year’s theme, “Food safety: science in action” draws attention to the use of scientific knowledge as key to reducing illness, cutting costs and saving lives.
The two organizations released a communication toolkit to assist food safety advocates around the world in preparing their World Food Safety Day events. All campaign materials are available in six UN languages for use and distribution. In the campaign launch video, Dr. Luz María de Regil, director of the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at WHO, and Dr. Corinna Hawkes, director of the Food Systems and Food Safety Division of FAO, introduce this year’s World Food Safety Day theme.
