The Food Standards Agency was set up to protect people's health and the interests of consumers in relation to food. The Agency is committed to protecting the interests of consumers in matters relating to food safety and standards. Its role is as follows.
- To protect customers by effective enforcement and monitoring of food safety and standards, in partnership with local authorities and through the work of the Meat Hygiene Service.
- To support customer choice through accurate and meaningful labelling.
- To provide advice to the public and to Government on food safety, nutrition and diet.
As an independent body, the Agency has the legal power to publish its advice. The Agency is a UK-wide, non-ministerial government department, operating at arm's length from Ministers.
