Abstract
The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (the socalled ‘RASFF’) is at the heart of food risk management within the European Union. It aims at providing authorities with an effective tool for exchanging information on measures taken to ensure food safety. It was created in 2002 by the General Food Law Regulation to help Member States to coordinate their food safety actions. Nearly ten years later, the adoption of Regulation 16/2011 of 10 January 2011, laying down implementing measures for the RASFF, intends to clarify the specific conditions and procedures applicable to the transmission of notifications through this tool, thus providing more legal certainty in the system.
