If it’s not Safe2Eat, it’s not EU food!

Safe2Eat is an EU-wide campaign for helping people discover how Europe’s food safety standards give us the freedom to choose what food to buy, eat and enjoy safely and healthily every day. 

Across Europe, our best scientists help authorities set and maintain these standards so every choice we make about food is backed by the best science available. 

Whatever influences your food choices - taste, health, cost, or the environment - you have the peace of mind that your food is not just right for your palate, but also safe for your health.

Safe2Eat can help you: 

  • learn about food safety and food hygiene practices;
  • find clues to nutritious and healthy food;
  • discover how we ensure that everything in your food, from additives to novel ingredients, is safe to eat;
  • read food labels to find key info, such as on allergens; and
  • meet the people behind Europe’s food safety system.

The Safe@Eat Team

Safe2Eat is a pan-European campaign involving several national food safety authorities (see below), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission.

EFSA brings scientists from across Europe together to assess the science behind food safety, nutrition policies and individual choices in the EU.

We’re working together to promote the food safety system that ensures that you, European citizens, can be confident in the safety of the food you eat.
