Emily Miles

CEO of the Food Standards Agency. Interested in how government can make a difference. Or put another way, in Care, Truth & Trust.

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

'If shops do think it's fine for two more days then just make the date longer'

'Milk goes sour and looks bad and smells bad before it does you bad'

Do you trust the 'sniff test' for gone-off food?

[Emily Miles @EmilyHMiles]

Me on breakfast TV this morning, talking about milk and whether you can use the #snifftest to see if it’s safe. A: yes, but because milk smells bad and looks bad before it does you bad. That’s not true for many other foods. Follow the advice on the packaging.

Thanks for such an informative visit. I've been wanting to visit Felixstowe ever since working on Brexit at Defra. Import controls are such a key part of of ensuring the UK has food we can trust, and Port Health Authorities' work is essential. You gave us a lovely welcome!

[Suffolk Coastal Port Health Authority @SCPHAuk]

SCPHA welcomed the Chief Executive Officer and other high-profile representatives of @foodgov to show how import controls are carried out on food and animal-related goods at Britain's busiest container port.

Very excited to share this @RadRefPod with @EmilyHMiles, Chief Executive of @foodgov and previous holder of a range of very senior central government posts. Emily talks about leadership and also what makes a good "bridge" between central government policy and local delivery.

[Emily Miles @EmilyHMiles]

My first appearance on a podcast. Listen to learn more about @foodgov and Brexit, Food fraud, how we work with local authorities, and my views about leadership. And why I once did 6 weeks of dance classes.

[RadRefPod @RadRefPod]

This episode is with @EmilyHMiles, Chief Executive of the @foodgov. Before that Emily held a number of very senior central government positions.

It is a brilliant listen if you are interested in learning about authentic leadership.

@KeelaShackell @foodgov It was that year that I decided I needed to remember to wear green and purple on 8 March! Took me a few years to get organised…

[Emily Miles @EmilyHMiles]

I wanted to share what I wore yesterday, for a @foodgov event, on #InternationalWomensDay2022 . I'm reminded by so much at the moment that the power of solidarity is tangible in the face of vulnerability. Women have known that for a long time. Thank you to all who went before.

[Food Standards Agency @foodgov]

Following the Chair’s report from Prof Susan Jebb, @EmilyHMiles presents the Chief Executive's report to the FSA Board.

@bazen_solomon My heart breaks for you, Baz. Xxxxxx

[Emily Miles @EmilyHMiles]

@GreedSpam @foodgov Hi, apologies this is a little delayed. The ACNFP is an independent science advisory cttee to the FSA. So I’m not in charge. But Fyi all ACNFP assessments, opinions and minutes are placed in the public domain unless it’s confidential eg commercially confidential. So it’ll come.
