Here are some of the calls to action that the World Health Organization offers for everyone to follow so that food safety can be maintained. 

It is the duty and the responsibility of the Government of all the nations to ensure that the food being circulated in the market is safe and at the same time is nutritious in nature. 

The farmers and the people working in the agriculture sector need to learn the safe and right measures through which they can produce the food items safe. 

After the safe food produced by the producers, it passes to different business owners. It is also the responsibility of these food business owners to ensure that the food is handled in a much safer way. 

Though all the measures are used by the producers, packers, and distributors, the consumers should make sure to do their bit. The consumers should be aware of the food items that are nutritious and which are not. Also, they should check out the safety measures taken while producing and distributing food items. Lastly, consumers should follow the measures of cleaning and cooking food items carefully for consumption. Also, it is the responsibility of the consumers to report and complain about any food items that are not safe. 

Hence, the chain of food safety cannot be run alone. It is a shared responsibility that has to be taken care by everyone together. Then only the purpose of the World Food Safety Day will be achieved.
