The National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (ANSVSA), as the national partner of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), is currently conducting the European consumer awareness campaign #Safe2EatEU.

Given the importance of the campaign's themes - food additives, allergens, and food waste - the Romanian Employers' Federation in the Food Industry (ROMALIMENTA) has decided to join this initiative.

"The three priority themes of the #Safe2EatEU campaign are of significant interest to both consumers and operators in the food industry. ROMALIMENTA saw it as an opportunity to get involved alongside ANSVSA to ensure clear and transparent information for the Romanian public," stated Sorin Minea, President of ROMALIMENTA.

ANSVSA, responsible for overseeing and controlling food product safety, welcomes ROMALIMENTA's involvement, the main professional and employers' organization in Romania's food industry.

"Collaboration with ROMALIMENTA is essential to achieve the objectives of the #Safe2EatEU campaign, increasing consumer awareness about food safety. Together, we will combat misinformation and provide scientifically verified information," added Alexandru Bociu, President of ANSVSA.

The joint campaigns by ANSVSA and ROMALIMENTA will comprehensively address the following aspects:

• The role and safety of food additives authorized at the European level
• The importance of clear allergen labeling to protect sensitive individuals
• Good practices and opportunities in reducing food waste

"We are confident that this partnership will contribute to building a culture of responsible and sustainable consumption, benefiting all participants in the food chain," concluded Sorin Minea, President of ROMALIMENTA. Communication and Documentary Logistics Service (Photo: Meat.Milk)
