Ahead of the inaugural World Food Safety Day on Friday 7 June, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Michael Creed, T.D. and the Minister for Health Simon Harris,T.D. have come together with agencies, industry, retailers and farmers to launch a food safety information campaign aimed at consumers, highlighting the collaboration that is required from farm to fork to protect food safety.
Launching the campaign, Minister Creed stated, “World Food Safety Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the world class food safety systems that are in place in Ireland. These help to ensure that the food we produce is safe, authentic and traceable. The high standards to which we hold ourselves in Ireland are recognised both by consumers here in Ireland and in the many countries worldwide in which Irish food and drinks products are consumed and enjoyed.’’
