Did you know that… ⚠️ Over 200 diseases are caused by eating contaminated food. 🥘 1 in 10 people worldwide fall ill from contaminated food each year according to World Health Organization. 👶🏽 40% of the foodborne disease burden is carried by children under 5. Foodborne illnesses are usually infectious or toxic in nature and caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances entering the body through contaminated food. 💡 Access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food is key to sustaining life and good health. 🍎 Safe food supplies also contribute to food and nutrition security, support national economies, trade and tourism, and underpin sustainable development. Food safety is everyone’s business, here’s what you can do: *Practice* safe food handling at home: keep it clean, separate raw and cooked food, cook food thoroughly, keep food at safe temperatures and use safe water and raw materials. *Learn* how to keep food safe before, during, and after emergencies, such as floods, fires, natural disasters or the loss of power. *#healthandlifeworld*
