In food circular economy, the utilization of food manufacturing side streams (FMSS) offers significant potential instead of being discarded. However, reincorporating FMSS into the food value chain raises food safety concerns due to potential food hazards. This perspective explores food safety risks associated with circular management of FMSS by using a 'Quad-Modal hazard dynamic' approach with case studies. Future research and advancements in food safety control strategies are also discussed.
