Managing food safety is becoming increasingly complex. Products and raw materials originate from all over the world. The focus on new proteins is resulting in all kinds of new products. Consumers want products with a clean label and fewer additives. Production processes are changing, and so are consumption patterns: we are eating more raw vegetables, composite salads, ready-made meals and new plant-based products. This complexity brings new risks and dangers, but which ones? Three important 'emerging food safety risks' to anticipate are: fraud, microbial contamination of plant-based ingredients and micro-plastics in food.
