Our objective is to reduce health burden from foodborne illnesses.

23 million
cases of illness
5000
deaths
in Europe every year are caused by bacteria, parasites, toxins and allergens in food
Estimates from WHO
SafeConsume is built on the hypothesis that
consumer behaviour is both a core problem and solution
SafeConsume will target the top five foodborne hazards in Europe
accounting for about 70% of the health burdens related to foodborne illness
