Over 170 scientists with a wide range of expertise have started their three-year term as experts for EFSA’s eight scientific Panels and Scientific Committee.
Members of four panels gathered at EFSA this week for their inaugural meeting: the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare (AHAW), the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM), the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA), and the Panel on Plant Health (PLH).
About half of all panel members are new to EFSA. Many of them come from universities and research institutes. These highly qualified scientists will help shape EFSA’s work in the next three years and make important contributions to ensuring that food remains safe for Europe’s 500 million consumers.
