FOODSAFETY4EU: paving the way for the food safety system of the future

Food safety is a top priority for the European Commission, which policies aimed at sustaining a high level of protection of human health and consumers’ interests while ensuring an effective functioning of the internal EU market. Under the New Transparency Regulation (EU/2019/138), the 3-year EU-funded FOODSAFETY4EU project (FS4EU) kicked off in January 2021, represents a significant step for the European Union (EU) food safety system (FSS), towards more transparency, better engagement, and closer cooperation. This Horizon 2020 Project, coordinated by CNR-ISPA (Italy), focuses on building a multi-stakeholder platform for the future EU FSS.2022 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
