食品标准局(FSA)负责英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰与食品有关的公共卫生。它确保人们可以相信他们购买和食用的食品是安全的，而且是它所说的那样。作为这项责任的一部分，FSA致力于了解食品环境的持续演变，以确定提高食品安全和/或真实性标准的机会。以及任何新的或放大的风险，消费者应该受到保护。一个发展迅速的领域是食品和饮料行业的数字平台。消费者越来越多地通过第三方中间商从一系列供应商那里购买食品，这些中间商被称为“聚合器”。数字平台仍然是一个相对较新的概念，许多平台是在过去十年推出的。因此，政府对这些平台是如何运作的，以及它们如何影响它们所处的环境，一直存在知识缺口。
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for public health in relation to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It makes sure that people can trust that the food they buy and eat is safe and is what it says it is. As part of this responsibility, the FSA works to understand the continuing evolution of the food landscape to identify opportunities to improve standards of food safety and/or authenticity. As well as any new or magnified risks from which consumers should be protected. One area that has evolved rapidly is that of digital platforms in the food and drink industry. Consumers are increasingly purchasing food via third party intermediaries, known as ‘aggregators’, from a range of vendors. Digital platforms remain a relatively new concept, with many launching in the past decade. As such, there has been a knowledge gap in government about how these platforms work and how they impact the landscape in which they operate.
