FSA Board Meetings

We are a non-Ministerial government department so we are governed by a Board, rather than directly by Ministers.

Our Board is chaired by Professor Susan Jebb and has up to 12 members. They are responsible for the overall strategic direction of our organisation.

As transparency is a guiding principle for the Food Standards Agency and key to maintaining public confidence, you are able to watch our board meetings.

The next FSA Board Meeting is on 11 December 2024 in London

Submit a question to the FSA Board

The FSA Board welcomes questions on the papers being considered at each of its meetings.  

We are keen to ensure, as far as is practical, that questions are addressed in the discussion at the Board meeting, so it is important that queries are kept as concise and focused as possible.  

Questions should relate to the Board papers published prior to the meeting. Questions that do not relate to a paper on the FSA Board meeting agenda will not be addressed during the Board meeting but will be responded to separately and in writing.  

Questions for the Board meeting will also receive a written reply within 20 working days of the Board meeting. Replies will be published on the relevant FSA Board Meeting page.  

You can submit your questions up to 5pm on Monday 16 September using this form.  After this date, you will not be able to submit questions and the form will close.
