Food safety research is essential to address gaps in food safety knowledge necessary to support regulation and identify emerging issues and threats to the food system in Ireland. The FSAI has published a report which contains priority research areas that would advance the risk assessment and risk management work of the FSAI and support the protection of public health.
Food safety research is essential to address gaps in food safety knowledge necessary to support regulation and identify emerging issues and threats to the food system in Ireland. The FSAI is not a research funding body and therefore, it is essential for the FSAI to communicate areas of priority research to state bodies that fund research and scientists in research institutes alike. These areas can be incorporated into research calls by funding bodies or be the subject of researcher-led funding proposals submitted to research funding bodies. The FSAI has published a report which contains priority research areas that would advance the risk assessment and risk management work of the FSAI and support the protection of public health. They are listed under broad topic headings and include suggestions for major research as well as smaller desk–top studies. Research funding bodies and/or researchers may cite this list as supporting documentation for their calls or proposals.
