Posted at 18:00h in Uncategorized by

With funding from Horizon2020 program of the European Union and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) program EU-China-Safe, a project with a volume of €10 million, was launched to improve food safety and fight food fraud within the EU and China. The project is coordinated by the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast.

“The EU-China-Safe partnership between our two trading regions is of immense importance to help deliver safe and genuine food to all citizens. Working together across China and the EU will enable us to identify where food fraud is happening, address the root causes and thereby enable us to improve food safety standards for all our citizens.” said professor Yongning Wu, chief scientist of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment.

Yili is one of the 33 partners from academia, government and food companies working together in this project. Our focus is improved detection of adulteration of food products and improved transparency and traceability of food supply chains. A total list of all partners involved is provided below.
