FSA Board Meetings
We are a non-Ministerial government department so we are governed by a Board, rather than directly by Ministers.
Our Board is chaired by Professor Susan Jebb and has up to 12 members. They are responsible for the overall strategic direction of our organisation.
As transparency is a guiding principle for the Food Standards Agency and key to maintaining public confidence, you are able to watch our board meetings..
The next FSA Board Meeting is on Wednesday 18 September 2024.
