The paper presents Food safety policy in European Union. Special attention is given to the "Farm to Fork" Strategy, which includes all operators in the food value chain. Institutions that control this food chain and at the same time, they should protect consumer interests in the field of food safety, are considered. Organic farming has an important role in ensuring safe food and sustainable food consumption. In this context, significance of organic farming is considered in two main directions. On the one hand, as a type of agriculture that develops its activities with environment care. On the other hand, as a main way of providing organic and healthy food to consumers.
