EFSA

European Food Safety Authority is Responsible for Food Safety

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) provides independent scientific advice on issues related to food and feed safety, as well as related matters (e.g., animal and plant health, GMOs, nutrition). It advises on all legal issues and informs the general public accordingly.

EFSA identifies and analyzes all data on nutrition and emerging risks in the food sector. It also supports the EU Commission in crisis situations.
