Descripción
A series of global food scares in recent years have raised doubts in the minds of many consumers about the safety of the food they buy. It is the role of governments to establish national food safety systems to ensure that food products are safe both for national consumption as well as for export. FAO has been advocating measures to ensure the safety and quality of foods based on common principles and guidelines established by international organizations relating to food standards, plant health , and veterinary public health and zoonoses. Strengthening such services and systems requires agreement among various ministries, departments and programmes. This publication reports on the regional consultation on enhancing inter-ministerial coordination for strengthening food safety held in Bangkok, Thailand from 1 to 3 April 2015. Recommendations, conclusions and steps forward are included.
