Ensuring the safety of food is an ongoing priority for both governments and agri-food producers around the world. According to the World Health Organisation, one in ten people fall ill from contaminated food every year, resulting in over 400,000 deaths. This impact is disproportionately felt by vulnerable groups such as young children and low-income populations, particularly in developing nations. Unsafe food supplies also contribute to malnutrition and food shortages, exacerbating global food insecurity. In response to these ongoing challenges, governments and industry stakeholders are under increasing pressure to establish robust food safety systems that are capable of ensuring the safety of food supplies and reducing the impact of foodborne diseases.
At Farrelly Mitchell, our food safety experts are committed to tackling this challenge and ensuring a safe and nutritious food supply for all. Food safety risks must be assessed and managed at all points along the food supply chain. As such, we work closely with all stakeholders involved, including farmers, producers, distributers, and retailers to assess the risks of food safety hazards and respond to emerging food safety risks, particularly those resulting from climate change. We also provide support to governments in building robust food control systems, designing effective policies and legislation, and developing risk-based programmes for effective monitoring and enforcement.
