We are the Facilitator

BFSA is a facilitating agency tasked with rendering necessary support to those entities/organisations directly involved in updating and upgrading the food safety or guidelines; in determining permissible limits at its highest safe level for use of contaminants and residue, additives or preservatives; in determining permissible limits of radiation in food; in formulating and implementing accreditation policies; in formulating procedural guidelines for accrediting food testing laboratories and requesting the government to increase the capacity of safe food controlling agencies and organisations.

We are the Coordinator

BFSA will coordinate the activities of the various agencies and organisations engaged in controlling food safety as well as those involved in activities relating to food production, import, processing, stockpiling, supplying, marketing and sales, to ensure peoples’ right of access to safe food through appropriate application of modern scientific processes and state of the art technology. As a coordinator BFSA is very much reliant on the proactive role of the safe food controlling agencies and organisations.

We are the A-Team in Food Safety

BFSA is not alone. We are a big team consisting of nine (9) Ministries & Divisions and nine (9) other subordinate departments & organisations. The Team will become bigger when nine (9) City Corporations will join it in the immediate future and will ultimately get its fullest size when 67 Municipal Corporations and 391 Municipalities gradually join the Team.
