To achieve these goals, the consortium is developing procedures to enhance top-down and bottom-up hazard control by combining management options within the frame of the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. 14 In view of the food safety challenges in the monitoring and detecting of contamination in food supplies, whether by accident or fraud, the consortium is developing decision support systems to enhance safety controls along the food chain. Focusing on the potential risks raised by the major international channels of infant food trade, the program is also establishing educational and knowledge transfer activities to foster harmonization of good practices.
