Rehearsing response to EU food crises

As the crisis training partner of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the EU’s food, feed and animal health risk assessor, we have delivered 23 interactive training events since 2012, all designed to facilitate better collaboration across the EU during food and animal health crises.

The sessions, which typically combine simulation exercising with discussion and briefings, have involved hundreds of food safety risk assessors, risk managers and risk communicators from EU Member States, pre-accession countries, the European Commission, the UN FAO, the European Centre for Disease Prevention & Control and several other European Union agencies, as well as EFSA.

Post-event evaluation feedback confirm that all sessions have achieved their objectives and proved beneficial to participants. Our reports, detailing each training event, are published by EFSA on its website.
