From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere

The theme of World Food Safety Day 2026, From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere, highlights how data on illness, its burden, and lost lives can guide action towards focused and cost-effective solutions. Foodborne diseases remain a major global burden, causing at least 200 illnesses that affect health, livelihoods, education and economies. Yet, they are largely preventable.

Learn how the Partnership for Food Safety Education supports nutrition, public health and food safety professionals in taking action to reduce foodborne illness with science-based resources and events.
