Who investigates food poisoning?
When foodborne illnesses like Salmonella outbreaks happen, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) work together. UKHSA focuses on tracking the illness and its spread among people, while the FSA looks into the food chain to find the source of contamination. This joint effort helps protect public health.
