Summary/Abstract: In view of the recent challenges facing the food supply chain, there are now more concerns than ever about food safety in the logistics chain. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on food products logistics, emphasizing the need for prioritizing the modernization of the food safety management and updating the necessary control measures to ensure that products reaching end-users are appropriate and fit for human consumption. The research methodology includes complex application of traditional scientific methods with predominant use of normative analysis. The focus is on the European food legislation, and recommendations have been made to supplement and upgrade the introduced norms and good practices, observing the basic principles of precaution and preventive measures for the protection of food safety. The results show that the measures taken have the potential to minimize the risk to food safety in logistics processes, but the existing risks require more in-depth analysis and the implementation of new more significant measures to minimize the impact of increasing problems in logistics operations.
