Safe food is a fundamental human right and a prerequisite for good health. Food can become unsafe due to biological, chemical, or physical contaminants at any stage of the food chain. Food safety ensures that food will not cause harm when prepared and consumed as intended. Unsafe food containing harmful microorganisms, chemicals, or toxins can cause more than 200 diseases, ranging from diarrhea to cancers. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 600 million people—nearly one in ten globally—fall ill each year due to contaminated food, resulting in about 420,000 deaths.
Effective food safety systems rely on good practices, regular inspection, monitoring, and risk assessment to identify hazards and ensure timely interventions across the food chain. The Bangladesh Food Safety Authority was established on 01 February 2015 as the central regulatory and coordinating body for ensuring food safety in Bangladesh. It operates under a legal framework comprising one Act, three Rules, thirteen Regulations, and several Guidelines. The authority also facilitates international trade by issuing e-health certificates for exports following required procedures and testing standards. Within this context, this presentation highlights the food safety system in Bangladesh, focusing on regulatory frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, and the evolving pathways toward export-import compliance.
