Details
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) Board Members are asked to declare any interests or related party interests that are relevant to the work of the FSA as well as all remunerated outside employment, work and appointments (whether relevant or not).
An individual may have other interests and while the FSA is aware of these, they are judged to be not relevant to the Members’ role and therefore not in scope for publication.
All relevant interests are managed by the department to prevent the risk of perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interest.
