Food Safety Day is an annual signature event of the Centre for Food Safety (CFS). Jointly organised by the CFS and Metro Info, Food Safety Day 2013 was held at CityWalk in Tsuen Wan on 22 June 2013 (Saturday) as a kick start of a series of activities to remind members of the public to observe good food safety practices. Under the slogan of "Make a Wise Food Choice", the event aims to ensure food safety in the public through promoting good food-buying habits. Moreover, the Signatories of Food Safety Charter were invited for recognition of their continuous support.

There were game booths and on-stage games to promote and reinforce food safety messages including sourcing food from reliable suppliers and choosing food according to one's health condition. Our guests also shared their experience and tips for buying safe food. Performances were arranged for entertaining guests, the Signatories and the public admitted to the venue.
