Food safety legislation evolves continuously. The reasons for changes vary, but the goal remains the same: safe foods. In this project we study the effects of changes made in the food safety legislation on food safety compliance. Sub-studies focus on different food safety systems including decentralized and centralised systems. We also ask how third-party involvement in risk management impact food safety (Niina Piira) and what the consequences are of waiving preventive food control inspections to restaurants (Haukijärvi). Sub-projects have been funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Finnish Foundation of Veterinary Research.
