Who is most at risk? While food safety affects everyone, the burden is not shared equally. Data shows that children under 5 account for 30% of foodborne deaths.  Policies must support the resilience of these populations to ensure food safety during shocks and stressors. @who.int #FoodSafety

Why does food safety matter to the economy? The cost of inaction is staggering. According to the World Bank, unsafe food costs low- and middle-income economies about $ 110 billion in lost productivity. Investing in safety from farm to fork is an investment in economic resilience. @fao.org

Why is food safety important? Because unsafe food undermines our ability to nourish the world. Ensuring food safety is critical to reducing malnutrition. We cannot achieve zero hunger without it. Here is why👇 #HealthierDiets4All #FoodSafety #SDGs @fao.org @who.int @wfp.org

If it isn't safe, it isn't food. Food security isn't just about quantity; it's about quality. Unsafe food directly harms public health and completely wastes the water, energy, and land used to produce it. At GAIN, food safety is foundational to every programme we design.
