  We contribute to making sure that foodstuffs in Germany are safe. To this end, we co-ordinate control programmes on foodstuffs traded, also on the internet. Further, we authorise plant protection products, veterinary drugs, and genetically modified organisms – provided they are harmless to the health of humans, animals, and the environment. We regularly inform the public about our work, publishing, among other things, yearly reports and data on the quality of foodstuffs in Germany.
