EFSA : European Food Safety Authority (European food safety authority)

Created in 2002, EFSA is the cornerstone of the European Union (EU) with regard to the assessment of risks relating to the safety of food intended for human and animal consumption. In close collaboration with national authorities and in open consultation with stakeholders, EFSA provides independent scientific advice and clear communication on existing and emerging risks.

EFSA's role

EFSA aims to improve food safety in the European Union, ensure a high level of consumer protection and restore and maintain confidence in the EU food supply.

Field of competence

EFSA's scope includes food and feed safety, nutrition, animal health and welfare and plant health and protection. In all of these areas, EFSA's essential task is to provide objective and independent advice based on scientific knowledge and to ensure clear communication based on the most recent scientific information and knowledge.

“Ce système permet aux consommateurs européens d’être parmi les mieux protégés et les mieux informés au monde quant aux risques associés à la chaîne alimentaire.”
