Food safety in the EU – Special EUROBAROMETER Report
Eurobarometer 2025: Europeans’ Views on Food Safety
The new EFSA Eurobarometer 2025 reveals that food safety remains a top concern for European citizens, though trust in food products and authorities is generally high. Consumers show the greatest worry about pesticide residues, environmental pollutants, and food additives, while issues such as foodborne diseases are less prominent in public perception.
The survey also highlights a continued gap between scientific risk assessments and public perception, underlining the importance of clear, evidence-based communication to support informed consumer choices.
