The brief summarizes discussions held in 2024, following up on the 2023 Uppsala Health Summit (UHS) 2023 workshop on “Managing Emerging Health Risks in the Feed and Food Chain”. We conclude with recommendations for Swedish and EU stakeholders, for better risk communication and aligned policymaking. These include using structured and transparent approaches for balancing conflicting goals and using understanding of facts, feelings and politics to effectively manage and communicate risks, while acknowledging trade-offs in risks and benefits.
