A shift toward a more plant-based diet can improve dietary quality and reduce environmental impact, but may also lead to nutrient intake deficiencies and slightly increase exposure to harmful substances, according to a study involving our researchers. 👉 www.ruokavirasto.fi/en/themes/ri...

Southern and Central Finland offer favorable conditions for the red-necked longhorn beetle (Aromia bungii), according to a report by the Finnish Food Authority’s #riskassessment unit. This quarantine pest, originally from Asia, causes significant damage to Prunus species. hdl.handle.net/10138/599457

Consumers also play a key role in #FoodSafety. @efsa.europa.eu's #Safe2EatEU encourages everyone to make safe food choices. E.g., proper handwashing and paying attention to food temperatures and storage times are among the most effective ways to prevent food poisoning. www.efsa.europa.eu/en/safe2eat

Happy #WorldFoodSafetyDay! Celebrated on June 7th, this year’s theme highlights the crucial role of science in ensuring #FoodSafety under slogan: ‘Food safety: #ScienceInAction’. @fao.org's & @who.int's #WFSD is now being organized for the 7th time. 👉 www.who.int/campaigns/wo...

Kuluttajien omat valinnat ovat osa elintarviketurvallisuutta, mihin @efsa.europa.eu'n #Safe2EatEU -kampanja kannustaa. Esim. huolellinen käsienpesu ja elintarvikkeiden lämpötiloista ja säilytysajoista huolehtiminen ovat tärkeimmät keinot ehkäistä ruokamyrkytyksiä. 👉 www.efsa.europa.eu/fi/safe2eat

The report examined, based on literature sources, the exposure of Finns to gyromitrin in false morels and the associated health effects, as well as compared different processing methods to reduce the mushrooms’ toxicity.

Selvityksessä tutkittiin kirjallisuuslähteiden perusteella suomalaisten altistusta korvasienten gyromitriinille ja sen aiheuttamia terveyshaittoja sekä vertailtiin käsittelytapoja korvasienten myrkyllisyyden vähentämiseksi. #riskinarviointi #elintarviketurvallisuus

Finnish Food Authority, which is involved in the campaign, reminds consumers of the importance of good kitchen hygiene. By following proper food handling, preparation and storage guidelines, you can significantly reduce the risk of food-borne illness. 👉 www.efsa.europa.eu/fi/safe2eat 4/4

EFSA's #Safe2EatEU campaign aims to encourage consumers to make safe food choices and increase confidence in the EU's evidence-based food safety system. www.ruokavirasto.fi/en/foodstuff... @efsa.europa.eu #foodsafety 3/

Kampanjassa mukana oleva Ruokavirasto muistuttaa kuluttajia hyvän keittiöhygienian tärkeydestä. Noudattamalla asianmukaisia ruoankäsittely-, -valmistus- ja -säilytysohjeita voit vähentää merkittävästi elintarvikkeiden välityksellä tarttuvien sairauksien riskiä. 👉 www.efsa.europa.eu/fi/safe2eat 2/
