European Food Safety Authority

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an agency of the European Union that provides scientific advice and risk assessments about food safety. Its main role is to protect consumers from food-related risks, ensuring that food is safe to eat. EFSA conducts research, evaluates food safety issues like pesticide residues and food additives, and communicates findings to policymakers and the public. By ensuring high standards and transparency, EFSA helps maintain trust in the European food system and supports informed decisions about food safety in Europe.
