European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is an agency of the European Union that provides independent scientific advice on food safety. Its main role is to assess risks related to food and feed, ensuring that the food consumed in Europe is safe. EFSA evaluates various aspects, including food additives, pesticides, and nutrition, and communicates its findings to policymakers and the public. By doing so, EFSA helps protect public health and supports food-related decision-making in the EU, while also promoting transparency and public trust in the food supply.
