🍔 UPFs cause more weight gain than less processed foods—even with same calories.

It shows that processing and ingredients matters.

✅ UPFs have been linked to health risks. SAFE’s Preventia helps fight NCDs via health literacy & smart food choices.

Micro- and nanoplastics (#MNPs) pollute the environment and enter the food chain accumulating in the human body and increasing health risks. On World Brain Day, we want to draw attention to the link between MNPs and an increased risk of neurological diseases. #Brain

SAFE just wrapped up 3 fantastic days in Paris! 🇫🇷

We trained 161 pupils (7–11) on:
🍭 Sugar & food colourants
📦 Food labels & packaging

💡 They learned to spot hidden sugars, debunk misleading packaging & understand the health effects of excessive sugar!

No bees, no food. It’s as simple as that.

Today, on #WorldBeeDay, we’re not just celebrating bees — we’re calling for real protection for these natural pollinators.

Want to help bees? Support organic farming. Choose local. Say no to harmful chemicals.

Food loss and waste occurs at every stage of the food value chain. 🥝
The SISTERS project is designing innovative strategies for each of those five steps: primary production, logistics, processing, marketing, and consumption.

On 7 May 2025, the Italian Chamber of Deputies approved a world-first legislation recognising obesity as a medical condition needing proper care and support.

👏 Congratulations to Amici Obesi Onlus, a member of SAFE, for their relentless advocacy on this matter.

Sugary drinks cause our gut to absorb sugar over essential nutrients like proteins, fats, and carbs, leading to harmful metabolic changes. 🍭

Our #Food4Inclusion programme educates children in schools about sugar consumption and helps them make healthier choices. 🍎

Looking forward to the next activities!

Following the latest compromise on #NGTs reached by Member States, we call on the @europarl.europa.eu to hold on to its position of requiring mandatory labels and traceability requirements for Category 1 NGTs, too. Full disclosure shouldn't be a problem when there's nothing to hide.

We reiterate our rejection of the latest compromise proposal to regulate #NGTs in the #EU:
1️⃣Breeders and farmers must be protected against unreasonable patent claims leading to biopiracy. Biotech Directive 98/44 must be amended to protect them!

2️⃣ The European Parliament is right to call for traceability in their proposal. We support this position. @europarl.europa.eu
3️⃣Member States must be free to introduce coexistence measures to protect organic production.

This victory is crucial for all. Europe's ecosystems urgently need restoration, with 81% of habitats in poor condition, threatening biodiversity and resilience to climate change
