    The document discusses the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), which was established in 1979 as a gentlemen's agreement between European countries to share information about safety issues affecting food and animal feed. Over time, RASFF expanded to include more countries and used new technologies like fax, email, and online systems to more quickly communicate about outbreaks, recalls, or other safety cases. Major food safety issues from 1978 onward prompted developments to RASFF to help prevent future crises.
