New UN campaign focuses on food safety

The United Nations launched a food safety campaign on Tuesday for an era in which millions are dying of hunger or tainted produce as more and more people fall ill from eating too much.

"Food safety, quality and quantity must go together," said Margaret Chan, director-general of the UN World Health Organization.

She was speaking at the Rungis wholesale market in Paris, where she launched World Health Day 2015 under the theme: "From farm to plate, make food safe."
