Biosafe stands at the forefront of food and feed safety in Europe, serving as a key partner in bringing innovative and sustainable food & feed products to the global market. We specialise in comprehensive laboratory safety testing and expert consultation to enable smooth access to the European market and around the world. Our expertise covers novel foods, food enzymes, food and feed additives, and plant protection products, with our main focus being microbial and other biotechnological products, such as cell-based food.
As the demand for our consultation services continues to grow worldwide, we are looking to hire three Regulatory & Scientific Affairs Specialists to expand our regulatory team.

We are looking for experts in molecular biology, microbiology, toxicology, nutritional science or other relevant scientific fields. We are primarily looking for full-time employees, but are open to part-time work as well.
