How does EFSA work?
A management board with 15 members, who all act in the public interest, governs EFSA. They do represent any industry sector, organization or government. The organization’s scientific work is handled by its scientific committee, which has ten panels staffed by leading scientists.
When more specialized knowledge is required, a panel may create a working group that consists of both EFSA scientists and outside experts. Additionally, EFSA works closely with EU agencies focused on healthy and safety issues that involve animals, humans and the environment.
Who benefits from EFSA?
Consumers across Europe benefit from the work of EFSA, which has made them some of the most well-informed and protected people in the world in terms of food chain risks. Institutions and governments in the EU also benefit, and use EFSA’s knowledge to manage public health issues and authorize the use of food and feed products.
Does EFSA do anything for labels and packaging?
EFA is a scientific body that administers and updates EU food safety regulations, and this can extend into the world of labels and packaging. It also provides advice on many things related to food, including additives, flavorings and processing aids, and advises on the safety of food packaging and food contact materials.
