Safe Food International (SFI) takes on food safety on a global scale. Whether food is mostly locally grown or comes from all parts of the world, food safety has become a matter of concern to all people, in all countries and regions. SFI aims to unify and focus the efforts of consumer organizations worldwide that are working to ensure a safer food supply. Advocates in both wealthy and poor nations provide an important oversight role to assure that their national food safety programs address common food safety problems, approve foods before they are consumed or exported to other countries, and deter the use of food as a target of intentional contamination.

This website will provide information gathered by the SFI team on food safety issues and problems around the globe. We have listed interesting food safety studies and new food safety policies as well as outbreaks of human and animal diseases in different world regions.
