Abstract

The characteristics of food safety science and technology in EU were reviewed as a result of a scientific visit of food safety science and technology to EU member states Germany, Denmark and Sweden. Independence, reliability and notarization of food safety science and technology in EU member states were secured in two ways, i. e. the scientific research institutions of food safety were completely independent of food safety regulatory agencies in compliances with national constitutions, laws or regulations, and funding for food safety science and technology activity was subject to national budget. Food safety priorities were mediated in consistent with the features of national food production, status of national food safety and particularity of food trade in international market. The priorities of food safety science and technology mainly consist of risk assessment, establishment of Rapid Alert and Response System for food and feed and evaluation of interaction between nutrition and health. At the same time, all food safety activities, in particular risk assessment, in EU member states were implemented in broad cooperation with European Food Safety Authority, EU Commission and international organizations(FAO, WHO,CAC,OIE, etc.). The better understanding of trends and priority of EU food safety research would provide a reference for setting national food safety strategy, designing national food safety priority and figuring out the key issues of national food safety science and technology and strengthening the national food safety controlling system for China.
