actor, joins this global awareness campaign on food safety.
Through this initiative, we seek to draw attention and inspire actions that

Among the programs that are running, it should be noted the joint work
between the federal government, the provinces and the private sector to
update food legislation, both national (National Food Commission), regional
(Mercosur) and international (Codex Alimentarius), in finding reasonable
and modern regulatory frameworks accompanying innovation and technological
development. In turn, the training of the various stakeholders in the food
chain on good agricultural practices (GAP) and manufacturing (BPM) done for
several years.
2018 was approved, the National Agricultural Sustainable (GAPs) in fruit
and vegetable products Good Practice Program, aiming to strengthen food
