Biologiske farer
Panelet for Biologiske Farer (BIOHAZ) giver videnskabelig rådgivning om biologiske farer i relation til fødevaresikkerhed og fødevarebårne sygdomme. Dette omfatter dyresygdomme, der kan overføres til mennesker, overførbare spongiforme encefalopatier (TSE'er), fødevaremikrobiologi, fødevarehygiejne og relaterede affaldshåndteringsproblemer.
Medlemmerne af BIOHAZ-panelet er forskere fra hele Europa med ekspertise inden for:
- Epidemiologi for fødevarebårne zoonoser (Salmonella, Campylobacter osv.)
- Antimikrobiel resistens
- Forarbejdning af animalske biprodukter
- Fødevarebårne vira
- Kødkontrol hos alle arter bestemt til fødevareproduktion
- Fødevarehygiejne og -mikrobiologi
- Mikrobiologiske kriterier
- Biologiske risici ved sammensatte produkter og ferske varer
- Dekontaminering af kødkroppe (antimikrobielle behandlinger)
- Kvantitativ mikrobiologisk risikovurdering
- TSE'er (epidemiologi, patologi, diagnostik, eksponeringsvurdering).
Plenary meetings
Networks
What are EFSA's networks?
EFSA’s networks consist of nationally appointed EU Member State organisations with expertise in the fields covered by the network. Representatives of the Commission and of other organisations (including those from outside the EU) with specific expertise may also be invited to participate in the work of EFSA Networks.
Networks are chaired by EFSA and supported by relevant EFSA units. Their aim is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the field of EFSA’s mission by:
- coordinating activities,
- exchanging information,
- developing and implementing joint projects,
- and exchanging expertise and best practices.
- Decision concerning the establishment and operation of European Networks of scientific organisations operating in the fields within the Authority’s mission(35.46 KB)
BSE-TSE
Set up to strengthen the scientific cooperation on BSE-TSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) issues, reduce the duplication of activities and hence avoid divergence of opinion.

Microbiological risk assessment
Established to strengthen the scientific cooperation on microbiological risk assessment, anticipate and reduce the duplication of activities and hence avoid divergence of opinion.
