Representatives of national institutions in the food safety system gathered at the end of another year to exchange news and learn about the latest collaboration opportunities at the national level as well as with EFSA.

HAPIH organised the educational workshop at the Zagreb Food Truck Festival. Food influencer Hungry Mile joined HAPIH experts to increase awareness of the importance of handling food safely and reducing food waste.

Ingredients with the label “Hrana s hrvatskih farmi i polja” were used to cook breakfast. During the preparation of the delicacies, visitors had the opportunity to hear food safety tips from HAPIH experts.

Experts from HAPIH and EFSA shared their knowledge and experience on risk assessment with participants from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.

In addition to the team spirit, the HAPIH team also promoted EFSA’s campaign by running five kilometres in T-shirts bearing symbolic messages about food safety.

“The consumers are also responsible. Education and raising awareness are on all of us,” it was pointed out at the launch of this year’s edition of EFSA’s #EUChooseSafeFood campaign.

The meeting was held in Paris. The general director of the Croatian Agency for Agriculture and Food, Darja Sokolić, PhD, participated on behalf of Croatia.

In Paris on 6 and 7 April, national representatives discussed the current issues in the European food safety system.

The meeting of the National Network of Institutions, Article 36 List and the representatives of EFSA’s Scientific Networks enabled the exchange of knowledge, experiences and examples of good practice in the field of food safety.
