European food safety

European food safety ensures that food produced, processed, and sold within the EU meets strict standards to protect public health. It involves rigorous controls, inspections, and regulations covering everything from farm practices to food labeling. Agencies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assess risks related to contaminants, additives, and new technologies, guiding policies to minimize health hazards. The system promotes transparency, quality, and consumer confidence while addressing issues such as food recalls, hygiene, and animal welfare. Overall, EU food safety aims to provide safe, healthy, and trustworthy food for consumers across member countries.
