Commentary
“Ceasing coordination and cooperation globally could substantially affect food safety and nutrition security. Without the collaboration in place to alert or be alerted about foodborne disease outbreaks, our food system could be significantly weakened, and the number of people who get sick could substantially increase.”
Barb Kowalcyk | IFSAN Director,
about the U.S. leaving the World Health Organization.
