European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is a notable agency of the European Union focusing on science, safe food, and sustainability. Established in 2002 with headquarters in Parma, Italy, EFSA emerged in response to food crises in the late 1990s, providing scientific opinions and advice on risks associated with the food chain. Engaging around 565 staff and over 1500 external experts, EFSA's diverse scientific remit encompasses food and feed safety, nutrition, animal health and welfare, plant protection, plant health, and the potential impact of the food chain on biodiversity.

EFSA's crucial role in shaping European policies and legislation on food safety positions it as a significant entity in the Agriculture, Food and Beverage, and Health Care industries, attracting attention from potential venture capital investors seeking impactful opportunities in these sectors. Despite the absence of specific details on the latest investment and investors, EFSA's foundational role in ensuring safe food for Europe, evident through its slogan "Trusted Science for Safe Food", and extensive engagement with skilled professionals highlights its potential for substantive contributions and growth within the realm of food safety and sustainability.
