BSS, Dhaka :
National Food Safety Day -2021 will be observed today across the country with a vow to ensure safe food for all in a befitting manner.
This year’s theme of the day is “Sustainable development-rich country, safe food for Bangladesh”.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have issued separate messages on the occasion, urging all to join the movement for ensuring production of safe food to save life and health, and also the import and marketing of safe food.
In his message, the President said there is no substitute for safe and nutritious food to ensure public health as eating unsafe food can lead to serious health risks including cancer, kidney disease and disability.
Therefore, it is very important to ensure proper implementation of the law and speed up public awareness activities on safe food in coordination with all concerned agencies, he said.
Bangladesh Food Safety Authority has been conducting activities in coordination with all the concerned organizations by making 13 regulations related to safe food and conducting regular monitoring and anti-adulteration campaigns including raising awareness about safe food which is highly commendable, he added.
