We fund a wide range of research and surveillance projects which support our risk analysis process for developing food safety policy, and help to ensure that the guidance we produce for businesses and our public health and food law delivery partners, and the advice we provide to consumers, are based on the best science available. Our food safety research and surveillance projects sit under 4 of the Food and Health Research Programme priority themes.
