Healthy eating through safe-for-consumption meals is undeniably an important contributor to healthy lives. In this context, food-borne disease outbreaks, which are a constant public health threat, should be decreased or eliminated. Thus, all food hazards must be appropriately managed as determined by scientifically proven meal processing. The e-SAFE project aims to provide modern, tailored made training to professionals working in the food preparation industry, focusing on emerging, re-emerging and persisting food hazards in meal preparation, taking also into consideration the needs created from the current coronavirus pandemic.
The specific objectives of e-SAFE are to: a) provide an innovative food hygiene and safety training program & e-learning tool on food handling/preparation focusing on the prevention of recently identified and non-widely known food hazards, b) motivate and raise compliance / adherence to safer handling / processing / storage techniques for all EU food handlers / suppliers so as to avoid potentially less known food hazards, c) create a training package that can be incorporated in similar training programs in the field of food safety / quality and exploited by VET providers and institutions in this domain.
