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.
