Summary/Abstract: One of the considered strategies for the reform of the system of foodsafety controls is the consolidation of administrative bodies operating inthis area. This idea reflects the trends that are visible in Europe not onlyin relation to the organization of institutions dealing with food security.Similar transformations are also taking place in other sectors in order toensure better coordination and increase the efficiency of public administration.This trend is triggered by critical reflection on the effects ofradical agencification, which increased the accountability of institutions,but created challenges in terms of coordination and cooperation. Thisarticle analyses the experiences and patterns in improving coordinationand cooperation in the activities of government agencies and formulatesimportant conclusions for discussion on the future of organs of foodsafety controls in Poland.
