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 Wednesday 20 March 2024.

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.

You can submit a question on the papers being discussed up to 5pm on the Monday before the Board meeting. After this date, you will not be able to submit questions and the form will close. 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.

If you have a question within the FSA’s remit that does not relate to a paper on the FSA Board meeting agenda, please use our contact us page.

The question form for the March 2024 Board Meeting has now closed.
