With activity well underway for British Science Week, we wanted to shine a light on our scientists and help others connect to the interesting and varied work they do.
There is no question that what and how we eat has evolved dramatically over time - I’m sure I’m not alone in eating a diet that is radically different to the one my parents or grandparents ate. This is partly about cultural and societal changes, but also owes a lot to science and the technological changes that have transformed the food system over recent decades.
This year, International Women’s Day falls on the start of British Science Week, so it seemed only right to focus our blog this year on how to #InspireInclusion for our Women in Science.
Our Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Robin May reflects on the FSA’s commitment to science and the work delivered throughout 2023.
AMR has been identified as one of the most pressing global challenges we face this century. Through projects such as IID3, we are able to learn more about AMR in foodborne pathogens with the aim of supporting work to prevent the spread. Part of our World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) series of blogs.
For World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, the Pathogen Surveillance in Agriculture, Food and the Environment programme (PATH-SAFE) will be showcasing some of the antimicrobial resistance research activities that are underway across the programme.
It's World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) and we want to share some insights into our latest Citizen Science projects. Citizen Science is when we co-create studies with people in the community. Our latest reports delve into the world of AMR in your home, specifically on home-grown food and on your chopping boards.
We hear from current members of our Scientific Advisory Committees (SACs) to find out about their roles, and to hear about their experience of being a SAC member.
One of the Food Standards Agency's ongoing commitments to food safety is surveillance. As part of this, we actively monitor the levels of infectious intestinal disease (IID) in the UK.
While we regularly review the number of confirmed IID cases, not all cases that occur in the UK population will be recorded by public health systems.
FSA Chief Executive Emily Miles updates on the Precision Breeding Bill, research into the perceived value of the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, and the Windsor Framework.
