The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a small government department with a big mission: to keep food safe, ensure that it is what it says it is and that it’s increasingly healthy and more sustainable. We work with over 300 local authorities across three nations to ensure that consumers have access to ‘food you can trust’.
