The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is a trusted brand that prioritizes food safety, traceability, and accurate labeling. With a strong scientific and evidence-based approach, the FSA's mission is to ensure that food is safe and empower consumers to make informed choices. They tackle current challenges and address emerging risks by using scientific analysis and insights that inform their own work and the policies of other organizations in the food system.

The FSA's Areas of Research Interest (ARI) are broad and cover a wide range of issues influencing food and feed safety, standards, and consumer exposure. These ARIs are research questions aimed at promoting and protecting public health by providing well-informed and sustainable access to safe and properly labeled foods. The FSA actively collaborates with other government departments, industry, consumers, research institutes, and universities to build a robust evidence base and develop initiatives that impact the food system and consumer protection.

Their research priorities revolve around assuring food and feed safety and standards. Through their research, the FSA aims to continuously improve their scientific capabilities and ensure that food in the UK is safe and accurately labeled
