La seguridad de los alimentos que ingerimos es uno de los principales objetivos de las políticas de la Unión Europea. Pero la realidad es que en las últimas décadas hemos sufrido crisis alimentarias muy importantes, tanto desde una perspectiva económica, con grandes pérdidas para productores y distribuidores, como sobre todo desde una perspectiva social, con un elevado número de fallecidos a lo largo de toda Europa. A través de este curso podrás conocer las respuestas adoptadas por la Unión Europea: la primacía del conocimiento científico sobre los criterios económicos; la colaboración de la industria alimentaria en la garantía de la seguridad; la adopción de procedimientos autorizatorios y de alerta ante situaciones de crisis; y la reparación de los daños generados por tales crisis.

Este curso se imparte en español, si bien alguno de los documentos de referencia pueden aparecer en ingles (aunque se incluirá una breve explicación en español). No se requiere conocimiento jurídico previo alguno.

  • Los principios básicos de la seguridad alimentaria en la Unión Europea (precaución, trazabilidad)
  • Cómo garantiza la industria alimentaria la seguridad de nuestros alimentos
  • Como garantizan la Comisión Europea y los Estados miembros la seguridad de nuestros alimentos
