What Does EFSA Stand For?

EFSA stands for European Food Safety Authority

EFSA, or the European Food Safety Authority, is an agency of the European Union focused on providing scientific advice and information on food safety. Established in 2002, EFSA's primary role is to assess risks related to the food chain, including food safety, animal health and welfare, and plant health. The organization plays a crucial role in ensuring that food consumed in the EU is safe and meets the highest standards of quality, thereby protecting public health and promoting consumer confidence. EFSA also supports food-related policy development by delivering scientific guidance to EU institutions and member states.
