Using science to deliver food we can trust

The FSA has published three key documents that set out how we will use science, evidence and information to deliver food we can trust.

These are our Science, Evidence and Information Strategy 2015-2020 Delivery Plan, our programme of work and forward evidence plan 2016/17.

How we will use science, evidence and information

We set out, in the three documents below, how we will meet this commitment we make in our Strategic Plan for 2015-2020:

  • we will use science, evidence and information both to tackle the challenges of today, and to identify and contribute to addressing emerging risks for the future

The delivery plan sets out at a high level our priorities for the science we need to develop and apply (the ‘what’), and the way we conduct our science (the ‘how’).

The other two documents give more detail on the specific activities we will carry out, to inform stakeholders and invite comment – the programme of work sets out the main activities of our programme over the five years of the strategy, and the forward evidence plan gives more detail on the new science and evidence work we hope to embark upon in the coming financial year.

We welcome comments from stakeholders to help us ensure we are using science, evidence and information to secure the best possible outcomes for consumers. We will update both documents each year for information and comment as our programme develops.
