Welcome to the website of the Department of Digital Food Science!

The Department started its work as the Digital Food Institute (DFI) on April 1, 2020 at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Budapest, which is one of the most important places for the training of food safety professionals in Hungary. The unit integrates food chain safety data analysis and research along the whole food chain and takes networking in this area to a new level. We aim to be an internationally recognized hub of experts and researchers in the field of food chain safety data analysis.

Do you know what we call emerging risk?
Food related emerging risks have potential adverse effects on human, animal or plant health, or the economy. Emerging risks are related to newly identified hazards to which the target organisms have significant exposure or known hazards to which the exposure or sensitivity significantly increases.
Why is it important to identify emerging risks?
In addition to the protection of human, animal and plant health, it provides input for strategic planning and analysis, decision-making processes, risk assessment and the adoption of appropriate risk management measures.
