FoodSafeR - A joined-up approach to the identification, assessment and management of emerging food safety hazards and associated risks

在欧洲，每年食源性危害，包括细菌、寄生虫、细菌毒素和过敏原，已经造成2000多万例疾病和数千例死亡。食源性化学品风险，往往与毒素的发生有关，日益受到关注。欧洲食品企业在过去几十年建立的食品安全管理体系和欧洲食品安全治理需要进行调整，以使食品系统更加稳健地应对多种动态压力源（例如气候影响）。FoodSafeR旨在设计，开发和测试一个创新的主动和全面的食品安全预警和管理系统的组成部分，并以新出现的风险动态为核心。FoodSafeR在面向未来的案例研究，工具，方法，策略，模型，指导和培训材料的综合套件中体现了危害特征和风险管理的综合方法。将建立一个开放和可访问的数字中心，旨在形成持续信息系统的核心，作为针对风险管理人员和评估人员、食品安全当局以及在欧洲食品系统中运营的相关行为者和利益相关者的“一站式”工具。为了实现雄心勃勃的目标，FoodSafeR联合了来自14个欧洲国家的18个组织组成的世界级联盟，整合了科学，工业，中小企业和政策制定者。FoodSafeR将有助于防止欧洲食品系统中发生的生物和化学危害以及相关的社会经济影响的食品安全事件。通过使这一方法取得成功，FoodSafeR有助于建立“可持续、健康和包容的粮食系统”，为减缓和适应气候变化、环境可持续性和循环性、可持续健康营养、安全食品消费、粮食减贫、增强社区权能和繁荣食品企业经营带来共同效益。

In Europe, each year foodborne hazards, including bacteria, parasites, bacterial toxins and allergens, already cause more than 20 million cases of illness and thousands of deaths. Foodborne chemical risk, often associated with occurrence of toxins, are of growing concern. Food safety management systems established over the past decades in our European food businesses, and European food safety governance need to be adapted to make the food system more robust towards multiple stressor coming dynamically up (so as climatic impacts). FoodSafeR aims to design, develop and test the building blocks of an innovative pro-active and holistic food safety warning and management system with a look on the dynamics of emerging risks at its heart. FoodSafeR embodies integrated approaches to hazard characterisation and risk management in a comprehensive suite of future oriented case studies, tools, methods, strategies, models, guidance and training materials. An open and accessible digital hub designed to form a core of a sustaining information system will be set up as a ‘One-Stop-Shop’ vehicle targeted at risk managers and assessors, food safety authorities and the relevant actors and stakeholders operating in the European food system. To reach the ambitious goal, FoodSafeR has united a world-class consortium of 18 organisations from across 14 European countries integrating science, industry, SMEs and policymakers. FoodSafeR will contribute to prevent food safety incidences occurring from biological and chemical hazards in the European food system as well as relevant socio-economic impacts. By bringing this approach to a success, FoodSafeR contributes to ‘sustainable, healthy and inclusive food systems delivering co-benefits for climate mitigation and adaptation, environmental sustainability and circularity, sustainable healthy nutrition, safe food consumption, food poverty reduction, the empowerment of communities, and flourishing food business operations.
