The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries of Denmark (MFAF) deals with agricultural and fisheries policy as well as food safety in Denmark. The MFAF prepares draft legislation in the field of food and feed safety. The food safety tasks of the MFAF are supported by two specialist authorities: The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA) and the Danish Agricultural Agency (DAA).

The food-related area of work of the MFAF extends beyond food safety to include, for instance, nutrition, plant health, animal health and animal welfare.
