SURVEYS

The FoodSafety4EU partners are exploring the routes of Food Safety in Europe to update knowledge, information and discover how to improve it for the future!

Have your say on risks and vulnerabilities in the EU Food Supply Chain!

EFSA informs that the EC Joint Research Centre is conducting a survey addressed to the food chain stakeholders on “Mapping the Risks and Vulnerabilities in the EU Food Supply Chain”. The overarching aim of the study is to support the European food security preparedness and response mechanism (EFSCM) in formulating recommendations to build preparedness for future risks and crises in the EU food supply. To this end, the study seeks to map and assess risks and vulnerabilities affecting EU food supply and security across sectors, stages of the supply chain, and Member States.

Stakeholders’ Targeted Consultation on EU4Health: future priorities, orientation and needs

The EU4Health Programme aims to build a strong European Health Union by supporting legislative and non-legislative Union health priorities. With a budget of EUR 5.3 billion for the period 2021-27, this represents an unprecedented level of financial commitment for public health.

The survey will aim to identify the different stages of risk assessment and/or risk management on several different substances split into 2 groups:

  • Mycotoxins (T2/HT2, DON, Alternaria, Enniatins)
  • Food Contact Materials (MOSH/MOAH, Phthalates (DEHP, DBP, DiBP), Bisphenols (BPA, TBBPA, BPS) and metals (Lead, Cadmium)).

Some of these substances are already regulated by national/EU law, but are not (yet) risk assessed for particular countries. For Mycotoxins the possibility for regional rather than national applicability is included in the survey.
The data collected will be used in the development of a harmonisation and integration roadmap. This survey is linked to the co-creation of roadmaps for risk analysis of food safety issues in a circular economy, and will complete the work developed under the FSOLab 1, led by the lab managers Niels van der Linden and Pieternel Luning, from Wageningen University and Research.
