Food safety

Trade in food and agricultural products between Switzerland and the EU is worth more than CHF 16 billion each year. The EU is Switzerland's biggest trading partner. This is particularly evident in agricultural produce. Switzerland and the EU want to work more closely together in the area of food safety in order to ensure the long-term safety of these products and foodstuffs in joint trade and to protect consumers from counterfeiting and fraud.
