Food Standards Agency
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is an independent Government department set up in 2000 to protect the public's health and consumer interests in relation to food.
The FSA in Wales is accountable to both the National Assembly and, via Health Ministers, to Parliament. Working in the context of devolution means it can take into account specific Welsh needs and issues, whilst still ensuring a consistent, UK-wide approach to food safety.
The Agency protects the interests of Welsh consumers by following three core values: it puts the consumer first, is open and accessible, and is an independent voice.
