The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is responsible for assessing and communicating on all risks associated with the food chain.
Food Chain: A series of organisms interlinked by their feeding relations. Imagine if you had a lunch line where each person passed their tray to the next person – that's kind of what a food chain looks like!
Risk Assessment: The process of evaluating potential risks involved in a projected activity or undertaking. Like deciding whether it's worth risking getting caught to sneak out during study hall.
Hygiene Standards: Rules and procedures meant to maintain health and prevent disease, especially through cleanliness. Think about how you're expected to wash your hands before eating – that's one simple hygiene standard!
