Context & Explainers

ASAE is the Autoridade de Segurança Alimentar e Económica (Authority for Food and Economic Safety), Portugal’s agency responsible for food-safety inspections, market surveillance and enforcement against illegal economic activity. It can inspect premises, seize unsafe or non-compliant goods, issue fines and stop sales — so businesses, restaurants and importers must comply with its rules and consumers can report problems to it.
