Food Industry Workers' Day is observed in Russia and Ukraine every third Sunday of October to celebrate the contributions of those working in the food industry. Established during the Soviet era in 1966, this professional day emphasizes the importance of individuals who work tirelessly to ensure the availability of essential products in stores. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the holiday continued to be recognized, with Ukraine officially reestablishing it in 1995 through a presidential decree. On this day, workers in the food industry receive congratulations from family, friends, and authorities, although no special events are typically held to mark the occasion.
