Did you know? 🤔 Through QAMA, a subset of the Uganda Fish Processors & Exporters Association (UFPEA), we prioritize the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system. This proactive approach allows us to assess potential hazards and establish control measures focused on prevention, rather than relying solely on end-product testing. By identifying specific hazards and implementing measures early in the process, QAMA ensures the safety and quality of Uganda’s fish exports from start to finish. 🐟🌍 Our dedication to #HACCP reinforces food safety standards, ensuring Uganda continues to excel as a trusted, compliant, and sustainable exporter of fish and fishery products. This is implemented alongside our various private standards. #FoodSafety #QAMA #UFPEA #HACCP #UgandaFisheries #ExportQuality #Sustainability

A scoping study carried out on food safety by the African Union (2019a) outlined numerous food safety challenges facing Africa, due in part to lack of food safety education and training; inadequate consumer awareness on food safety; and minimal harmonization of food safety standards and border controls within Africa limiting the free movement of food and its traceability This reality reinforces the pressing need for comprehensive policies that address education, infrastructure development, and policy execution.

Recommended article by Ravi Pillay. As I read this I reflected on who is supposed to be doing We cannot afford to perpetuate the cycle of outrage, investigation, and inaction; this only leads to more loss and deteriorating trust within communities. Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s visit to Naledi is a step in the right direction, but it should be part of a comprehensive and sustained strategy to ensure compliance and build trust. something? Are they doing it? If not what MUST we all collectively DO? The time to point fingers may just land us in even bigger challenges or widespread cases. The recent visits to the affected areas by anyone did not really give great confidence that ANYTHING will change. As Mr. Pillay wisely puts it, “ We cannot afford to perpetuate the cycle of outrage, investigation, and inaction; this only leads to more loss and deteriorating trust within communities” Something has got to be done, WHO is to do it is my question, and what is that which needs to be done? I have a few thoughts, lets see what could be in the space Im afforded to play a role in. Deep in thought before I do yet another interview on a TV station. The time for that in my view is also reaching its sell by, if not its best before. Tangible, intentional and Impactful initiatives needed, beyond awareness and dialogues.

This week, global leaders gathered in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, at the IFC - International Finance Corporation's 11th International Food Safety Forum. The focus on 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲, 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗔 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 couldn't be more timely. The recent Food Waste Index Report 2024 underscores the critical need to address food waste and its far-reaching impacts. In 2022 alone, 1.05 billion tonnes of food were wasted globally, significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating food insecurity. The Forums's discussions on robust food safety strategies and food waste reduction for sustainable growth resonate with the findings of the Food Waste Index Report 2024 and the objectives of the FSSC 22000 Additional Scheme Requirement on Food Loss and Waste (FLW). All emphasize the importance of reducing FLW, enhancing sustainability, and maximizing the production of safe and nutritious food worldwide. To delve deeper into the FSSC 22000 Additional Requirement on FLW, access our webinar recording about this topic: https://lnkd.in/e3KJT25F To learn how Foundation FSSC is determined to reduce FLW beyond certification, read the full article on our website here: https://lnkd.in/evhTZDCa #FSSC #FSSC22000 #foodloss #foodwaste #FLW #SDG12 #globalfoodwaste #FSMS #ISO #IMS #certification #foodsafety #foodsafetyforum

Strengthen food safety in Nigeria ✔🚫   Marché International de Rungis SEMMARIS, French leader of wholesale market is performing a study Funded by AFD - Agence Française de Développement (French Development Agency) to define a strategy to develop and strengthen city markets in Nigeria. SEMMARIS has mandated Phylum, with Francois Gary and Dooshima Kwange, Nigerian expert, to define a strategy and an action plan strengthen food safety on raw products (meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, subsistence crops) in wholesale markets.👏 📣Food safety is one of the most important One Health issue in Nigeria. Around 200,000 people including under-five children reportedly die annually from the consumption of contaminated foods in Nigeria (National Policy on Food Safety and Quality and Its Implementation Plan 2023). Engaging a food safety strategy focused on market is perfectly relevant as it is more than 50% of the food sourcing of Nigerian population, as it is a key hub to involve farmers as suppliers, vendors on the market and consumers. Unfortunately, the food safety in these supply chains is not sufficiently considered by Nigerian competent authorities. A challenge to propose a more pragmatic and efficient approach. #Foodsafety #Nigeria #Streetvendor #SEMMARIS #Phylum
