Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes you get sick if you eat something that's gone bad or dirty? To make sure people don't get sick from their food, there is a group of grown-ups called the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
These people have a very important job: they check food to make sure it's safe to eat. They examine different kinds of food, like fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish. They look at how the food was grown, made or raised, and even where it comes from.
The EFSA team does a lot of experiments and tests to make sure the food is safe. They test things like how many chemicals are in the food, how clean it is, and if it has any bad germs or bacteria.
Once they finish checking the food, they give their findings to other grown-ups called lawmakers. The lawmakers use this information to make sure the food we eat is good for us and won't make us sick.
So, in short, the European Food Safety Authority is a group of grown-ups who check our food to keep us healthy and happy!
