ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:

Food safety is a critical concern with direct implications for public health, economic stability, and quality of life. In today’s globalized context, shaped by climate change and evolving consumer preferences, ensuring safe and high-quality food has become increasingly complex. Hazards may be physical, chemical, or biological, and unsafe food is a major contributor to illnesses and deaths worldwide, as reported by the World Health Organization. This paper examines current development and future directions in food safety. It explores key influencing factors, the role of European and international regulations, and the impact of technological advances such as digitalization and traceability. Additionally, it highlights the importance of consumer education in promoting responsible choices. The study offers an integrated view of challenges and solutions, underlining the need for continuous research to support a safer and more sustainable food system.
