Food Standards Agency

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a UK government body responsible for ensuring food safety and hygiene. Its main role is to protect public health and ensure that food sold is safe to eat, properly labeled, and meets quality standards. The FSA monitors food production, conducts research, and issues guidelines to businesses and consumers. It also addresses food-related issues, such as allergies and nutrition, aiming to educate the public about safe food practices. By regulating food safety, the FSA helps maintain trust in the food supply and promotes healthier eating choices.
