Food safety is a big challenge for the whole world, which must be tackled through better regulation, Director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) Dr Margaret Chan said on Tuesday.
"I have to say that food safety is a big problem for both developed and developing countries," Chan told a news briefing in Geneva.
She said with a world population of 6.4 billion, a huge amount of food is consumed on daily basis, so ensuring food safety is a big challenge.
She added that the WHO receives some 200 reports of food safety problems in its 193 member states every month.
According to Chan, the WHO will continue to work with its member countries to strengthen their regulatory frameworks for food safety.
