Food safety is a global concern for public health and international trade. The IAEA works with over 70 countries world-wide to support the use of nuclear and isotopic techniques in their food control systems. Through its Food and Environmental Protection Section, which operates within the IAEA’s Joint Division with the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, the Agency provides equipment, training and technical advice to its Member States in the food safety and environment fields. One country that works closely with the IAEA is Chile.
