World Food Safety Awareness
Every day on average, 1 ,600,000 people get sick due to unsafe food globally.
This year’s Food Safety Awareness day has a special focus on how food standards save lives. GS1’s global standards and identifiers are enablers for efficient traceability and supply chain systems; providing end to end visibility from ingredient/s farmers and growers, processing and food manufacturing and supply chains all the way to the end consumer.
Recalling food quickly to minimise potential sickness (or worse)
