According to WHO, perishable and cooked foods stored in a refrigerator after four hours without power are no longer safe for consumption. WHO noted that in developing countries, about $110 billion is lost every year on medical expenses due to unsafe food. ‘’Let us all stay true to the statements ‘food safety is everyone’s business’ and ‘food safety is a shared responsibility,” she was quoted.
She stated that food safety emergency response must be anchored on a multisectoral, collaborative, integrated one-health approach across the health, agriculture, and environment sectors, the tiers of government, including relevant external partners and non-governmental organisations.
