Abstract

With the outbreak of Covid-19 in 2019, speculations began about how the virus spread. Coronavirus is the third common virus between humans and animals after SARS and MERS, and the belief that it is a disease caused by food intensified; in this way, the discussion of food safety and security became more serious. The purpose of this article is to survey the commitment of governments to provide safe food. Food safety is a way of preparing food that prevents disease, and the right to food is one of the rights listed in human rights documents.

Food supply has never been the subject of a specific document, but after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international organizations and numerous conferences have taken action in this direction and acknowledged that in order to maintain the health and well-being of society as a whole, the methods of food production and distribution to ensure easy access to adequate amounts of nutritious food should be controlled.
