Food Safety Almanac

Revised Food Safety Almanac published

The EU Food Safety Almanac gives an overview of the competent public authorities and the structures of food and feed safety within the Eu- ropean Union. The emphasis is on risk assess- ment. This overview of the organisational links and cooperation within the European Union not only facilitates the search for European partners but also avoids duplication of work. Likewise, it promotes the clear setting out of responsibilities.
