WFSD 2026 – Tips for handling food safety in practice!

From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere

Marta Mesias from ICTAN–CSIC – Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología de Alimentos y Nutrición (Spain) – as EU FOOD SAFETY PLATFORM individual member – contributes to the EU FOOD SAFETY PLATFORM multi-stakeholder dialogue by sharing a digital card on “Practical tips for food safety ”, helping consumers reduce acrylamide formation at home and make safer, healthier choices.

This contribution is an example of turning scientific evidence and drawing research on acrylamide in everyday foods such as French fries into simple guidance for families across Europe

This resource supports one of the key call to action: “Know what’s safe – consumers need to learn about safe and healthy food!“, to celebrate World Food Safety Day!
