The Food Standards Agency carries out a range of work to make sure food is safe to eat, including funding research on chemical, microbiological and radiological safety, as well as food hygiene and allergy.

The details of their day-to-day work on safety and hygiene, including policy, business and research programmes are set out on their website. A guide to the main general food law requirements, including the provisions of food safety is in the food industries section of the website.

For consumer advice on food allergy, hygiene tips on storing and preparing food at home, plus information about food poisoning, visit NHS Choices.
