Responsibilities & Functions of BFA

Asghar Harifal

Secretary

The relationship between food safety and public health is, of course, undeniable. Food safety in the food chain is one of the key areas of focus in public health, because it affects people of every age, race, gender, and income level around the world. Balochistan Food Authority intends to support public health through ensuring food safety through internationally recognized standards. Unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances causes more than 200 diseases-ranging from diarrhea to cancers. Foodborne diseases contribute significantly to premature mortality and low life expectancy in Balochistan, including being an imminent cause of child mortality and morbidity.

Food is one of the basic inevitabilities for sustenance of life. Important food hazards include microbial hazards, chemical and physical contaminants. It is food adulteration that ultimately deceives consumers and leads to various health risks. The Balochistan Food Authority (BFA) is in combat with this menace and aims at providing public with safe, healthy and hygienic food. BFA, since its inception, is in the field to create awareness and inculcate people with good hygiene habits and food safety standards. The enactment of Balochistan Food Authority Act, 2014 is to counter adulteration mafias and other food related offences that put public health in jeopardy. BFA also aims to foster the culture of food safety throughout the province from Farm to Fork.Keeping up with objectives of BFA certain food safety measures, guidelines and SOPs are being disseminated via numerous means of communication like Print, Electronic, and Digital Media. Balochistan Food Authority through e-governance, is also inline in bringing ease to consumers, food business operators and vendors to get their issues addressed and resolved efficiently and transparently. Most of the internal and external operations of BFA are interconnected and synced with a system of networks.
