Food safety is not solely a matter of production and oversight; it is also one of the fundamental conditions for public health, consumer confidence and a sustainable trading environment.

The Retail Networks Development Union believes that a safe food chain is built through a responsible approach, transparency, proper storage and transportation, and the consistent application of sales standards at every stage — from producer to final consumer.

Retail networks are a vital link in this process. For retailers that interact with millions of consumers every day, food safety is both a professional obligation and a responsibility to society.

On this important occasion, we highly appreciate the work carried out by the Food Safety Agency in this field and emphasise the importance of cooperation between public authorities, businesses and consumers in further strengthening the culture of food safety.

Safe food means a healthy society, a strong economy and a sustainable future.
