Summary

This report summarizes the five priority research topics identified by EFSA for food and feed safety, developed from expert consultation as part of Horizon 2020 planning. Emerging contaminants including microplastics were identified as a priority area requiring further research before adequate risk assessments can be made.

This technical report summarises the results of this consultation. It identified five priority research topics in the food and feed safety area. The selection of the priority topics was from a total of 60 proposals received after screening against the following criteria: Horizon 2020 prioritisation strategy, innovation and EFSA's 2020 strategy and existing priorities. The following priority topics were identified: 1. Microplastic and nanoplastic particles in food; 2. Honey bee health; 3. Foodborne viruses; 4. Risk assessment methodologies; 5. Development of European Cloud-based integrated data collection, data management, data analysis and reporting system for food safety.
