The key element SAFE AQUATIC FOOD refers to optimising food safety as it is a prerequisite for increased consumption of aquatic food. Actions linked to this key element rely on understanding: the connection between hygienic production and foodborne illness; the connection between environmental pollution; food production and human health; how contaminants and pollutants end up in the food (value) chain; and levels of contaminants. Relevant SDGs related to this element are SDG 2, 3, , 4, 6, 7,, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, and 17. Relevant recommendations from the Committee on World Food Security are CFS 4A.3, 4B, 4B.4.
