The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is a scientific agency of the European Union that evaluates risks related to food, feed, and health. Its main role is to provide independent, evidence-based advice to help ensure that food products are safe, nutritious, and properly labeled across Europe. EFSA assembles expert scientists to assess scientific data on contaminants, additives, pesticides, and other factors that may affect public health. By doing so, it supports policymakers in making informed decisions, thereby protecting consumers and maintaining trust in the European food supply.
