Susan Ann Jebb OBE is Chair of the United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency and Professor of Diet and Population Health at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford.
[1] At the Dunn Clinical Nutrition Centre in the early 1990s, she worked with Sally Poppitt, where she became head of obesity research.

In January 2023, her comments were the subject of some media attention after she appeared to compare bringing cake into the workplace to passive smoking.
