EU Library of Food Safety Guidance Documents

The EU Library gathers guidance documents related to food safety and produced by EU national competent organisations and risk assessors.

The EU Library includes entries collected by members of EFSA’s Advisory Forum with the support of the national Focal Points. It will be updated at least annually to ensure the inclusion of any new guidance and updates of existing ones.
