On June 7, 2025, the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH) proudly joins the global community in celebrating World Food Safety Day, under the theme "Food Safety: Science in Action."
At ICFMH, we believe that scientific research, international collaboration, and knowledge dissemination are the pillars of food safety. From detection of pathogens to global risk management, science is the driving force behind every safe bite of food. Through our conferences, training, and our partnership with Elsevier in publishing the International Journal of Food Microbiology, we continuously strive to promote evidence-based approaches to food safety around the world.
To mark this year’s WFSD, we are pleased to announce the launch of the official ICFMH YouTube channel, where we will share scientific insights, expert interviews, and community highlights — starting with a special WFSD 2025 video series featuring food safety leaders and researchers.

Let’s continue to turn science into action — for safer food, healthier communities, and a better future for all.
