Sciensano proudly coordinates METROFOOD-FED.BE, a national project supporting the development of METROFOOD.BE, the Belgian node of METROFOOD-ERIC, the European Research Infrastructure for Metrology in Food and Nutrition. One of our core missions is to ensure that Sciensano’s services are reliable, well-developed and sufficiently innovative to effectively support a wide range of users in tackling food and nutrition challenges.

To ensure our services stay aligned with stakeholder needs, we invite you to complete a short, anonymous survey focused on two priority areas:

  1. Food Contact Materials, analysing how chemicals migrate from packaging, containers and equipment into food, assessing health risks, and recommending safer solutions to protect consumers and support industry innovation.
  2. Nanoparticles in Food, characterising nanoscale materials used as additives or in smart packaging, weighing benefits like better shelf life and nutrient delivery against safety risks to guide evidence-based innovation and regulation.

Whether you are a researcher, manufacturer, policymaker or consumer advocate, your insights are invaluable. Your feedback will help us improve and adapt our services, identify unmet needs and research gaps and strengthen our collaboration with stakeholders.
