The Food Standards Agency is a non-ministerial government department of over 1300 people, with a big vision – to drive change in the food system so that it delivers “food we can trust”. As the country has now left the EU, the scale of this challenge cannot be underestimated. More than 90% of food and feed law in the UK currently comes from Europe and our primary goal is to continue to protect public health and UK consumers’ wider interest in food
