The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conference highlighted the need for robust food safety risk assessments that integrate societal expectations and scientific advancements. Key recommendations focus on transparency, collaboration, and addressing uncertainties for better public health outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Food safety risk assessment
  • Public health
  • Environmental science
  • Nutrition science

Background:

  • EFSA's third Scientific Conference (September 2018) convened experts to discuss the evolving landscape of food safety.
  • The conference addressed the interplay between scientific risk assessment, policy, and societal engagement.
  • Recognized that scientific evidence alone is insufficient for effective food safety risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize recommendations for future actions and research priorities from the EFSA conference.
  • To outline strategies for advancing food safety risk assessment in a changing world.
  • To ensure preparedness and relevance of risk assessment in addressing contemporary challenges.

  • Plenary sessions focused on 'science meets society' and 'staying relevant'.
  • Seven breakout sessions covered human health, environment, biological hazards, nutrition, evidence management, societal engagement, and future expertise.
  • Discussions involved addressing the complex interplay between science, policy, and society.

Main Results:

  • Recommendations emphasize robust, fit-for-purpose risk assessments.
  • Need to consider food safety within broader contexts of nutrition and sustainability.
  • Advocated for enhanced collaboration to achieve One Health/One Environment goals.
  • Stressed the importance of utilizing reliable science, addressing uncertainties, and publishing evidence.
  • Highlighted the necessity of clear policy goals, transparency in value judgments, and effective communication.

Conclusions:

  • EFSA must build upon its strategic objectives to ensure scientifically sound and societally relevant risk assessments.
  • Future risk assessments should be transparent, involve societal engagement, and explicitly address value judgments.
  • Coordination with risk managers and other organizations is crucial for achieving comprehensive food safety and public health goals.
