The objective of the European Union's food safety policy is to protect consumer health and interests. The existing education systems in EU are in need of innovative learning tools, in order to provide a quality training of future staff, from food sector, to be able to put European food safety policy into practice. The structure of this study is a vocational e-learning training program which aims to develop learning tools by which students, unemployed people and young workers would acquire the key competencies in the field of food services and food industry. The participants to this vocational e-learning training program were from Sibiu area. In this project there were enrolled 137 participants, 52 students and 85 unemployed people and workers. At the end, we evaluate the knowledge gained for each participant by applying tests and questionnaires. The results were positive due to the good quality of the content provided by the learning material, and the easy access to information. The purpose of this training was to understand the participant’s needs and how the quality of their knowledge influences purchasing choice regarding the food safety
