Longevity is a magical thing, but it is quite ordinary in Greece. Data shows that the average life expectancy of Greeks is 80.3 years, exceeding the OECD average of 79.5 years, ranking among the top in the world. The reason for this, apart from the environment, is primarily food health.
As a member of the European Union, Greece maintains strict control over food safety and quality. It is well known that EU food safety standards have always been among the highest and most strictly enforced in the world. To this day, relevant EU laws and regulatory standards are constantly being improved and updated.
Five major characteristics of the European food quality and safety management system:
1. Comprehensive laws and regulations: Relevant national laws, EU laws, and international laws.
2. Sound regulatory mechanisms: Unified management, hierarchical responsibility, a combination of government inspection and corporate self-discipline, and active consumer participation in supervision.
3. Perfect institutional standards, with strict regulations on food packaging, traceability, market access, and safety labeling.
4. Information transparency: All information is made public to serve as a supervisory tool.
5. Proactive response to problems, with a policy of accountability for any errors.
Whether it is snacks for children, or vegetables, fruits, and meat products, the testing standards are the same. No food that is harmful to health is allowed. Vegetables are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and meat is produced in natural, manually managed farms, all having passed layers of quarantine. Therefore, in Greece, you can eat food with peace of mind without worrying about hazards.
For example, meat products. Taking animal food as an example, before an animal is slaughtered, an officially recognized veterinarian must conduct a strict inspection, and a slaughter permit is issued only after it passes. Subsequently, the meat is checked for parasites, infectious viruses, etc. After entering the production workshop, temperature control is strictly managed to prevent the possibility of parasites if the temperature exceeds the standard. During transportation, it must also be kept in a frozen state; if the temperature exceeds the standard during transport, the meat products must be destroyed, and stale meat products are not allowed to be sold on the market.
Furthermore, if you get an upset stomach in Europe and suspect there is a problem with the food, you can call the 24-hour free complaint hotline set up by the Ministry of Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture at any time. If it is indeed a food issue, the relevant departments will handle it immediately.
It is precisely because of these safety measures in Europe that the health and safety of residents living within the EU are guaranteed. This is Europe's commitment to its citizens, immigrants, and even tourists. Living in Europe and enjoying the strictest food safety guarantees is also a reason why many people choose to immigrate to Europe!
Worldway immigration experts point out: Food safety, clean air, children's education, medical care, and pension benefits are the main reasons why high-net-worth individuals in China have immigrated overseas in recent years. Greece possesses a first-class education system, a relaxed immigration policy, a sound medical system, and social welfare policies, as well as a good food system and high quality of life, attracting more Chinese people to immigrate here to enjoy a vacation-style life.
