NEOGEN

Globally, an estimated 600 million people become ill each year from contaminated food. Food safety isn't just a scientific challenge; it's a public health imperative and a shared responsibility across the entire food chain.

Today, Neogen and brought food safety awareness to one of the world's most visible stages: the NASDAQ Tower in Times Square.

We’re excited to continue celebrating World Food Safety Day on June 7th!

As we approach World Food Safety Day on June 7, we're continuing to spotlight voices from across our organization to explore the importance of food safety.

What does “safe food everywhere” look like in practice, and what needs to happen to get there?

“To me, ‘safe food everywhere’ looks like a global supply chain where harmonized standards and quality are recognized, and where data can be shared quickly to support informed decisions. I recently heard leaders discussing the potential for anonymized data sharing to create an early warning system for emerging contaminants and pathogen spikes. Using collective data more effectively could help the industry communicate risk clearly and take action faster across the supply chain.”

World Food Safety Day is just around the corner, and we’re kicking off the conversation by sitting down with team members from across the business to discuss why food safety matters.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing perspectives from the people helping advance food safety every day, from science and innovation to manufacturing and industry expertise.

Stay tuned as we count down to June 7 and continue the conversation around building a safer food system for all.

What does “safe food everywhere” look like in practice, and what needs to happen to get there?

“When I think about the people working every day to keep our food safe, the teams that truly put ‘safe food everywhere’ into practice are the ones that build a strong food safety culture. That starts with a ‘See Something, Say Something’ mindset, supported by strong training, employee retention, and an environment where teams are encouraged to continuously improve and speak up when they identify potential risks or opportunities.”
