The Food Standards Agency

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a UK government department responsible for ensuring food safety and hygiene. It works to protect public health by enforcing regulations that ensure food is safe to eat and accurately labeled. The FSA conducts inspections, provides guidance to businesses, and educates consumers about food safety issues. Additionally, it addresses food-related risks and helps manage food safety incidents. By promoting high standards in food production and handling, the FSA aims to prevent foodborne illnesses and build consumer confidence in the food supply.
