Objectives:
At global level, EFFA is a member of the International Organization of the Flavor Industry (IOFI).
EFFA is a European non-profit trade association for the flavour industry, based in Brussels and registered under Belgian law. The association was founded in 1961 as “Bureau de Liaison des Syndicats Européens des Produits Aromatiques.” In 1991, the name was changed to the European Flavour and Fragrance Association (EFFA). The organisation originally focussed on both flavours and fragrances but decided to focus solely on flavours in 2009. The acronym EFFA remains the same.
The governing body of the Association is the General Assembly. It consists of ordinary member representatives (both National Flavour Associations and Company Ordinary Members). They have a physical meeting at least once per year.
