Summary
Food safety and quality are critical pillars of WFP’s mission to alleviate hunger and food insecurity worldwide. WFP is committed to providing safe, nutritious, and high-quality food to those in need, recognizing the health implications of consuming substandard or unsafe food. The commitment to provide safe and quality food to affected populations is not only driven by the immediate need to address hunger and malnutrition but also by the responsibility to ensure that donors’ contributions are effectively used to purchase good, nutritious food. WFP’s approach to food safety and quality involves meticulous oversight at every step of the supply chain, from production and processing to storage, handling, and distribution.
