Food safety is a top priority in Europe and elsewhere. The EU´s demanding rules have been further toughened since 2000 to ensure that Europeans´ food is extremely safe. The new approach is more integrated: feed and food are carefully tracked from the farm to the fork. EU authorities carefully evaluate risk and always seek the best possible scientific advice before banning or permitting any product, ingredient, additive or GMO. This applies to all feed and food, irrespective of whether it comes from inside or outside the EU. Food safety and its management starts on the farm. The rules apply from farm to fork, whether the food is produced in the EU or is imported from elsewhere in the world.
Safety does not mean uniformity. The EU promotes diversity based on quality. European law protects traditional foods and products from specific regions by ensuring consumers can distinguish them from copies.
The Netherlands has a long tradition in food quality and food safety systems. The Dutch response to market pressures and its system effectiveness is an excellent case in point for adaptive, flexible management practices.

o Analysing agrifood chains
