Difference between revisions of "About the Almanac/en"

With this online World Food Safety Almanac, we hope to reach many people and to give them insight into the world of global food and feed safety. The Almanac outlines different countries' administrative frameworks in the area of food and feed safety. It also describes the public institutions that carry responsibility within these administrative frameworks. We hope that the Almanac will serve as a useful tool, informing readers about relevant institutions and helping them to quickly and accurately identify potential collaboration partners for international projects. In this way, we aim to promote the harmonisation of existing methods and processes in food and feed safety and to reduce unintentional duplication of work in this field.

Since 2009, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) has published the EU Food Safety Almanac in several languages and in both paper and digital forms. In 2017 the 'European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) Food Safety Almanac' and the ‘Food Safety Almanac – Special edition: Community of Portuguese Language Countries’ were also released. The latest edition of the EU Food Safety Almanac was published in August 2021. The BfR developed the online World Food Safety Almanac in 2021 to be able to update information on the world of food and feed safety more quickly.
