The FSAI also has a 15-member Scientific Committee that assists and advises the Board, and its chairperson is a member of the Board. Therefore, decisions relating to food safety and hygiene take account of the latest and best scientific advice and information available. For the purposes of consultations, the FSAI has a Food Safety Consultative Council which consists of not more than 24 members. Board members on appointment assume significant duties such as responsibility for the proper conduct of the organisation‘s affairs, to hold information obtained in their role as Board member confidential and to act in accordance with public policy and high standards of probity.
The process is managed by State Boards.
