This project aims to accelerate the set-up of a European Metrology Network (EMN) on Food Safety; involving on-going dialogue between the metrology community, reference laboratories and regulatory bodies. This dialogue will then be used to (i) identify stakeholders’ needs, (ii) develop a sustainable knowledge-sharing programme and web-based platform for stakeholders and (iii) develop roadmaps and a strategic research agenda. Improved access to more reliable and accurate food safety measurements will allow reference laboratories to more confidently and effectively compare their measurement results and provide accreditation. This is particularly important where national food safety authorities need to assess potential new contaminants, novel food ingredients and newly emerging food risks, and new measurements methods may be required as well as input into new documentary standards.
