RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed)

The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) is a European Union tool designed to quickly share information about food and feed safety risks. When a safety issue is identified, such as contamination or harmful ingredients, member countries can instantly report it through RASFF. This allows authorities to take swift action to protect public health, prevent dangerous products from reaching consumers, and inform businesses about potential hazards. By facilitating rapid communication, RASFF helps ensure that food and feed remain safe across Europe.
