RIKILT - Institute of Food Safety is part of Wageningen University & Research Centre (Wageningen UR), an internationally renowned knowledge institute active in the field of health and nutrition, sustainable agricultural systems, viable environmental policy and social change processes.
Together with a number of other institutes, RIKILT is part of Wageningen UR’s Agricultural Research Department (DLO). This department provides the framework within which Wageningen UR carries out legal research tasks for the government. The activities relevant to legislation and regulations are thereby separated from more market-oriented tasks and assignments, which are carried out within the holding company.
