Scotland Creating A New Food Body Review Published

10/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Following the Scotland New Food body consultation between February and May 2013 Scottish Government has now published first report, which sets out how the Scottish Government will proceed. The IFST responded to this consultation among 126 others. The new food body will:

  • Make sure food in Scotland is safe to eat
  • Improve the diet and nutrition of people in Scotland
  • Be an effective and proportionate regulator, supporting the Scottish food and drink industry in growing its strong, international reputation for safe, quality food
  • Be more efficient and more responsive to Scottish circumstances

In June 2012 Scottish Ministers agreed to create a new food body for Scotland. This will be an independent, evidence-based and transparent body to carry out the functions presently delivered in Scotland by the UK-wide Food Standards Agency. These are food safety and standards, feed safety and standards, nutrition, food labelling, meat inspection policy and operational delivery.

A public consultation on creating a new food body was carried out between February and May 2013 which asked for suggestions to widen this group of functions further.
