EU-Specific
European Food Safety Authority — provides scientific opinions on food and feed safety underpinning EU MRLs.
EFSA describes itself as “An agency of the European Union set up in 2002 to serve as an impartial source of scientific advice to risk managers and to communicate on risks associated with the food chain”, providing “the scientific basis for laws and regulations”. The division that matters to an exporter is between risk assessment, which is EFSA’s job, and risk management — the decisions — which belong to the European Commission, Parliament and member states. EFSA’s opinion is therefore the science an EU limit rests on, not the limit itself.
EFSA’s own description of its role.
