Biološke opasnosti
Povjerenstvo za biološke opasnosti (BIOHAZ) daje znanstvene savjete o biološkim opasnostima povezanima sa sigurnošću hrane i bolestima koje se prenose hranom. Time su obuhvaćene bolesti životinja koje se mogu prenijeti na ljude, transmisivne spongiformne encefalopatije, mikrobiologija hrane, higijena hrane i povezana pitanja gospodarenja otpadom.
Članovi povjerenstva za BIOHAZ znanstvenici su iz cijele Europe sa znanjem i iskustvom u sljedećim područjima:
- epidemiologija zoonotskih bolesti koje se prenose hranom (salmonela, kampilobakterioza itd.)
- antimikrobna rezistencija
- obrada životinjskih nusproizvoda
- virusi koji se prenose hranom
- pregled mesa svih vrsta koje se upotrebljavaju za proizvodnju hrane
- higijena hrane i mikrobiologija
- mikrobiološki kriteriji
- biološki rizici povezani s mješovitim proizvodima i svježim proizvodima
- dekontaminacija mesa trupa (antimikrobna obrada)
- kvantitativna mikrobiološka procjena rizika
- TSE (epidemiologija, patologija, dijagnostika, procjena izloženosti).

Plenary meetings
Closed Networks
BSE-TSE
As of May 2025, the BSE-TSE network has been discontinued and has now become the Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies subgroup of the Animal Health Network. Information on this subgroup is available at this link.
Networks
What are EFSA's networks?
EFSA’s networks consist of nationally appointed EU Member State organisations with expertise in the fields covered by the network. Representatives of the Commission and of other organisations (including those from outside the EU) with specific expertise may also be invited to participate in the work of EFSA Networks.
Networks are chaired by EFSA and supported by relevant EFSA units. Their aim is to facilitate scientific cooperation in the field of EFSA’s mission by:
- coordinating activities,
- exchanging information,
- developing and implementing joint projects,
- and exchanging expertise and best practices.
- Decision concerning the establishment and operation of European Networks of scientific organisations operating in the fields within the Authority’s mission(35.46 KB)
Microbiological risk assessment
Established to strengthen the scientific cooperation on microbiological risk assessment, anticipate and reduce the duplication of activities and hence avoid divergence of opinion.
