The Hungarian food chain safety system meets the challenges

The integrated system of the Hungarian food chain safety is capable of meeting those challenges that have occurred over the past few decades, as a result of the scientific and economic changes – Zsigó Róbert told at a professional meeting on Tuesday in Budapest.

The Minister of State of the Ministry of Agriculture (FM), responsible for Food Chain surveillance spoke at the World Health Day Food Security Conference. He told that the global trade of food products and food ingredients is a major challenge for the authorities that are in charge of the safety of the food chain. The scientific and technological development is not only beneficial, but gives an opportunity to abuse the expertise or to counterfeit food – he pointed out. (MTI)
