The Federal Office for Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs (FSVO)[a] is the federal office responsible for ensuring food safety and protecting animal health and welfare in Switzerland.[1] It is subordinated to the Federal Department of Home Affairs.

It was created in 2014 as a merger between the Federal Veterinary Office and the Food Safety division of the Federal Office of Public Health.[2]
