Open magazine spread on a mustard-yellow background featuring an article titled “Improving food safety risk analysis for safer European food systems.” The pages include columns of text, a small infographic on emerging food risks, and references to the HOLiFOOD project. On the left side, the HOLiFOOD logo appears above an EU flag with the text “Funded by the European Union.”
Millions in Europe are affected by foodborne diseases each year, despite high #FoodSafety standards.
Meanwhile, risks are evolving due to changes in:
🌍 Climate change
🌾 Supply chains
🧪 Production methods

Infographic explaining the difference between food hazards and risk, using poultry as an example. Hazards are shown as physical (bones or feathers), biological (bacteria, viruses, parasites), and chemical (veterinary drugs, pesticides, dioxins). Risk is shown as depending on exposure, including how much, how long, how severe, and how often.
Infographic defining an emerging food risk as a risk from a newly identified hazard or from increased exposure or susceptibility to a known hazard. Visual icons illustrate increased exposure to known hazards, new hazards, and increased susceptibility.
Infographic describing mycotoxins as toxic substances produced by certain moulds that can contaminate crops such as maize, wheat, and rice. It shows contributing factors including higher temperature and humidity, extreme weather events, and altered rainfall patterns, alongside mitigation strategies such as climate-resilient farming, improved storage and drying, early warning systems, and sustainable agricultural practices.
Do you know the difference between hazard and risk?
And what do we mean by #EmergingRisks?
The #HOLIFOODproject has released 3 infographics that break down these concepts with practical examples, making #FoodSafety science easier to understand.

Diagram showing how food safety data is processed into the CHEFS database and used for trend, food, and country-based analyses, with future applications including dashboards and AI.
392 million analytical results from 25 years of EU food safety monitoring.
15+ million samples covering 4,000+ foods.
The #Holifoodproject has brought this data together in CHEFS, a unified database opening new possibilities for AI in #FoodSafety research.
