EFSA 2019 — Food Safety Regulatory Research Needs 2030
Summary
This 2019 EFSA editorial collected views from outgoing members of EFSA’s Scientific Panels on what food safety research areas should be prioritised for the 2020-2030 horizon. The editorial informs research agendas including the Horizon Europe Research Programme. For Heavy Metal Index purposes, the editorial is contextual: it identifies regulatory-research priorities that include continuing reassessment of contaminant reference values, improving exposure-assessment methodology, and addressing emerging contaminants. It is cited as background rather than as a primary scientific source, hence evidence tier B.
