What changed

The Commission published an updated registry of organisations operating in fields within EFSA's mission that participate in networking arrangements with the Authority. This Notice (C/2026/1982, PUB/2026/385) formalises the list of networking partners for transparency purposes under Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

Food safety operators, industry associations, and research organisations that collaborate with EFSA should review this list to confirm their networking status and understand the broader ecosystem of organisations involved in EU food safety risk assessment. No immediate action is required as this is an informational publication establishing organisational transparency rather than imposing new obligations.
