In celebration of World Food Safety Day 2025, Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s foremost food and beverage company, reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the highest standards of food safety, quality, and consumer well-being.
Themed “Food Safety: Science in Action,” this year’s observance emphasizes the critical role of science, innovation, and collective responsibility in ensuring the food we eat is safe. At Rite Foods, this theme resonates deeply with our operational philosophy, where food safety is not just a goal but a culture deeply ingrained across all levels of our organization.
“Food safety is more than a priority for us, it’s a culture we live every day,” said Seleem Adegunwa, Managing Director/CEO of Rite Foods Limited. “From sourcing raw materials to production, packaging, and distribution, we apply global best practices backed by science, innovation, and a team that is passionately committed to excellence.”
In line with the global observance, Rite Foods organized a week-long series of internal activities aimed at raising awareness, reinforcing hygiene practices, and fostering personal responsibility among its workforce. These included interactive sensitization sessions, handwashing demonstrations across shifts, cross-departmental discussions, and food safety pledges written and displayed by employees. Staff also participated in a company-wide food safety quiz to reinforce their knowledge and boost engagement.
The company took time to recognize the often-unsung heroes of its food safety system, its Quality Control team, whose diligence ensures that every product leaving the production line adheres to internationally recognized standards.
Backed by certifications such as ISO 22000:2018 and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Rite Foods continues to set the benchmark in delivering safe, high-quality products to Nigerian consumers, from the bold Fearless Energy Drink and refreshing Bigi range, to the satisfying Rite sausages and juicy Sosa fruit drinks.
This World Food Safety Day and beyond, Rite Foods remains committed to ensuring that science, quality, and a shared sense of responsibility continue to drive progress.
