Prof. Dr. Hans Verhagen
I have over 40 years of professional experience in the area of food safety and nutrition. I worked at Universities (Nijmegen, Maastricht, Ulster, Copenhagen), in contract research (TNO), in industry (Unilever), for the national (RIVM) and international government (EFSA), and I was editor-in-chief twice. I am a visiting professor at the University of Ulster (Northern Ireland) since 2009 and at the Technical University Denmark (DTU, Denmark) since 2021.
My strength is that I have the unique and rare combination of being both a board-certified toxicologist and board-certified nutritionist.
After my retirement from EFSA in 2020, I became owner and consultant of Food Safety & Nutrition Consultancy.
