The FoodSafeR project continues to build strong momentum as we work to reshape the future of food safety across Europe and beyond. As a Horizon Europe-funded initiative, coordinated by FFoQSI (Austrian Competence Centre for Feed and Food Quality, Safety & Innovation), FoodSafeR brings together a powerful consortium of 19 leading organizations from academia, research, regulatory bodies, and the food industry.
At the heart of FoodSafeR is a clear mission: to anticipate and respond to emerging food safety hazards through innovation, co-creation, and scientific excellence. Our team is developing advanced tools, data-driven frameworks, and risk-based strategies to identify, assess, and manage both microbial and chemical risks across the food supply chain.
A New Approach to Collaborative Innovation
FoodSafeR is built on the principle of co-creation. That means we’re not only producing scientific knowledge—we’re shaping real-world solutions in close collaboration with stakeholders from across the food system. This ensures that our outputs are relevant, practical, and aligned with the evolving needs of food safety authorities, producers, and consumers.
Key areas of focus include:
-
Early detection and prediction of food safety risks
-
Integration of novel technologies (e.g. sensors, AI, big data)
-
Development of robust regulatory frameworks
-
Enhanced communication tools for risk assessment and decision-making
Coming Soon: The FoodSafeR Open Digital Hub
A major milestone on the horizon is the launch of the FoodSafeR Open Digital Hub—a dynamic, centralized platform that will serve as a one-stop resource for food safety professionals. The Hub will facilitate the sharing of data, tools, case studies, and best practices, while fostering knowledge exchange across disciplines and sectors. It will also support collaboration between projects, institutions, and countries—strengthening the resilience of the global food safety ecosystem.
