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.
The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) fulfils many tasks in the area of food safety. The aim of the BVL is to make the communication of risks more transparent and to manage risks before they turn into crises.
Many paths – one goal: Safe food
