About 40% of all reported foodborne illnesses in Europe are acquired from food consumed at home and there is a need for new approaches to help consumers mitigate risk. A combination of
strategies is necessary, including material infrastructures aiding safe behaviours, improved skills and knowledge and an inclusive food safety policy.
The conference will be of interest for policy actors, scientists, risk communicators, educators and anyone interested in food safety at the consumer part of the chain.
