3 FOOD SAFETY AND NUTRITION OBJECTIVE OF EU POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK: Prvisin f safe, nutritius, high quality and affrdable fd High variety f fds available in EU Fd was never s safe as tday Single market, harmnised apprach, shared legislative framewrk Trends: mre infrmatin, lwer limits, strnger cntrl, mre technlgy.

4 THE FOOD CHAIN SYSTEM OVERVIEW Chemical ingredients Imprted prducts 1. Primary prductin 2. Harvesting / Slaughtering / Fishing 3. Prcessing / Manufacturing 4. Packaging / Labelling 5. Strage 6. Placing n the market / Distributin 7. Cnsumptin / Cnsumer handling Inputs: - plant reprductive material - plant prtectin prducts - veterinary medicinal prducts - water - sil, fertilisers, manure - Agriculture - Livestck - Aquaculture / Fisheries - Milk, eggs - Harvesting - Slaughtering - Fishing - Cllecting 1 st stage: cutting, milling, brewing, juicing 2 nd stage: blending, smking, preservatin, mixing - Canning - Packaging - Mdified atmsphere - Labelling (B2B / retail) - Strage length - Strage cnditins (temperature, atmsphere, humidity) - Retail - Whlesale - Direct sale f small amunts f prducts - Internet sale - Husehld - Catering / Restaurants - Hme strage Animal by-prducts Waste 8.
