Food safety in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) receives just a fraction of the investments in comparable health problems. Furthermore, much of this investment goes to food export control, where the burden is least.

• Make animal-source food (ASF) safe to consumers by removing microbiological and chemical hazards
• Protect people working in production and handling by improving working environment
• Provide targeted training in hygienic food handling for market actors, even among informal animal-source food markets
• Protect the environment  by taking care in handling waste products and chemicals, using natural resources in a sustainable way, and preserving biodiversity
• Provide need better information on the human and economic costs of foodborne diseases in poor countries to policymakers 
• Channel more global level resources to developing countries, as they bear the largest foodborne disease burden
• Make food safety regulations and standards in LMICs risk- and evidence-based, rather than rule-based
• Incentivise the private sector to help improve food safety and ensure stakeholder accountability
