Identification of emerging food safety risks
Early identification of risks
These factors may lead to the emergence of new risks or the re-emergence of known hazards under new conditions. Identifying and understanding these risks in advance is key to guiding strategic planning, anticipating adaptation needs and strengthening food safety management systems in the medium and long term.
Our solution
AINIA’s emerging food safety risk identification service is based on a periodic process, carried out every four months, aimed at detecting, describing and assessing emerging and re-emerging risks with a potential impact on the food chain.
The service combines systematic horizon scanning techniques with expert assessment of the information collected, integrating semi-quantitative assessment methodologies adapted to the food safety context.
The sources analysed include scientific literature, specialised databases, professional publications, technical and regulatory bulletins, as well as information from official bodies and reference organisations.
The result is a structured and well-founded view of the relevant risks detected in the environment.
The service is structured through SEALI Hub, AINIA’s solution for organised access to this type of strategic knowledge.
SEALI Hub consolidates information from multiple sources, structures the identified risks and provides a technical assessment that facilitates their interpretation and use by companies.
