SAFE FOODS - Promoting food safety through a new integrated risk analysis approach for foods
Project
Project code: 506446
Contract period: 01.04.2004
- 30.06.2008
Budget: 11,580,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Recent food safety incidents and the introduction of genetically modified foods in Europe have resulted in an intense public debate regarding the safety of the European food supply. Consumers have little confidence in the safety of their food supply and re main sceptical and distrustful of the management procedures currently in place. This Integrated Project addresses the issue of how consumer confidence in consumer protection and risk analysis can be restored and strengthened. The proposed research attempts to improve current risk analysis practices for foods produced by different breeding approaches and production practices deploying high and low input systems. The research activities will result in designing new effective procedures for risk analysis under pinned by new scientific assessment methods, and embedded in a broad impact analysis of social, financial and economic consequences, and with high levels of transparency, active public engagement and improved risk communication.
