Good to know…
As part of the Alert and Cooperation Network (ACN), DG SANTE facilitates the rapid exchange of information during food safety emergencies, particularly those with a transregional dimension. In addition, it publishes “Monthly Reports on Suspected Cases of Fraud in the Agricultural and Food Sectors”. These reports contain information on suspected cases of fraud originating from the Alert and Cooperation Network – including information on non-compliant residues of veterinary drugs and pesticides. This information can be helpful in further improving your own control programmes.
For more information please see: Monthly reports on EU Agri-Food Fraud suspicions
