Food safety is a responsibility – every day

Balingen, Allemagne, 06/07/2025

| Every day, billions of people eat and trust that their food is safe. But food safety does not happen by itself. On June 7, World Food Safety Day draws attention to how crucial safe food is for our health, our society, and our trust in the entire value chain.
At Bizerba, we see food safety not just as a technical task, but as a social responsibility.

Whether on supermarket shelves, in canteens, or in restaurants, what we eat should not only taste good, it should also be safe. Every year, World Food Safety Day on June 7 reminds us that safe food is not a given. According to the WHO, around 2.4 million people worldwide die every year as a result of contaminated food. The day was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2018 to draw attention to this very fact and to mobilize responsibility.

Because food safety is more than hygiene regulations or laboratory tests. It is a shared responsibility of agriculture, industry, trade, science, politics—and ultimately all of us.

Social responsibility requires a stance

At Bizerba, food safety is not a niche issue, but part of our identity. As a technology partner along the entire food value chain, we take responsibility—not only technically, but also socially.

Safe food is a human right. And this right can only be guaranteed if every link in the chain does its part. For us, this means setting standards, developing new solutions, and identifying risks before they arise. Whether through precise inspection systems, continuous monitoring along critical control points, or complete traceability. Our goal is to create processes that prevent errors instead of just reacting to them.

But it's about more than technology: it's about trust. And it's about a promise to consumers worldwide.

Technology is key – but only when used correctly. This year's World Food Safety Day motto sums it up perfectly: “Food safety: science in action.”

Technology alone is not enough. It must be used responsibly by people, integrated into processes, and continuously refined. Only then can science and innovation have a real impact.

Why food safety is everyone's business

What does World Food Safety Day mean for Bizerba?
"This day reminds us that safe food is not a matter of chance. It is a responsibility for society as a whole – from farm to fork. As an innovator and technology partner, we see it as our responsibility to make an active contribution here."

The motto for 2025 is “Science in action.” What does that mean for you?
"For me, it means that knowledge comes with responsibility. Food safety requires not only technology, but also people who use it responsibly – in companies, government agencies, research, and society."

How do you live up to your responsibility at Bizerba in concrete terms?
"By not only optimizing our technology, but also working together with our customers to consider how we can ensure trust, create transparency, and strengthen what ultimately matters most – people's health."

Food safety isn't a department. It's a fundamental principle that underpins trust in our entire industry. »

Food safety – more than just one day

World Food Safety Day is a catalyst. But true responsibility is not demonstrated once a year – it is demonstrated every day. In every product development, every customer project, every decision.

That is why we at Bizerba do not just work on technical solutions, but on something bigger: trust, traceability, and future security – for the world's food.
