In close collaboration with national and International authorities and in open consultation with its stakeholders, WFSC provides independent scientific advice and clear communication on existing and emerging risks. WFSC was created as part of a comprehensive programme to improve food safety, ensure a high level of consumer protection and restore and maintain confidence in food supply.

WFSC's remit covers food safety, nutrition, animal health and welfare, plant protection and plant health. In all these fields, WFSC's most critical commitment is to provide objective and independent science-based advice and clear communication grounded in the most up-to-date scientific information and knowledge.
