According to the Primary Education Curriculum of the Republic of Serbia Biology is taught from the fifth to eighth grade. Previous syllabi, including some minor changes, were in use for more than fifty years. In these syllabi the contents related to food and food safety, its production, storage and preparation were marginalized, which certainly represented a major shortcoming. New Biology Syllabi for primary schools have been introduced recently. They include more contents related to food storage and preparation, healthy diet and its importance for human health. These topics are included in all grades and cover the segment called Humans and their Health. The new syllabi, however, do not refer to the topic of food safety. This points to the need of including more contents related to food safety in Biology syllabi as it would adjust the syllabi with students’ real needs and improve their functional knowledge.
