World Food Safety Day 2025 Symposium | Day 2 Highlights

On the occasion of World Food Safety Day 2025, four EU-funded initiatives — FCI4Africa, FoodSafety4Africa, HealthyDiets4Africa, and the Uprise Food Safety Project — came together to host the “World Food Safety Day Symposium for Next Gen Food Safety Practitioners.” With over 150 registrations, this online gathering, held on 4 and 5 June, brought into sharp focus the vital role of science, policy, and collaborative innovation in strengthening food safety systems across Africa. The second day of the Symposium shifted to a series of engaging poster presentations. Each project showcased in greater detail the scope of its work, sharing findings, visualisations, and stories of innovation from the field. The event concluded with closing remarks by Dr. Parvez Haris of De Montfort University, who moderated the second day. He reiterated the significance of building bridges between scientific research and practical implementation, and the importance of nurturing the next generation of food safety leaders who understand both.
