Dr Ruth Hussey CB, OBE, DL has been appointed as interim Chair of the Food Standards Agency from 1 February 2021 for up to 3 months, to allow time for the Chair recruitment to conclude.
At its business committee meeting on Tuesday 8 December, the FSA Board discussed local authority performance in light of the unprecedented challenges COVID-19 has created for them in delivering their statutory food functions.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has today published its Consolidated and its Westminster Annual Report and Accounts for the past financial year. The report covers our performance and activities in 2019/20 across England, Wales and Northern Ireland at a net cost of £112.6 million.
Members heard updates on preparations for the end of the EU Transition Period and on food hypersensitivity, as the Board met online this week. It was also our Chair’s final Board meeting.
