Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked if a model transferring competency with an ability to delegate would achieve the expected benefits, of addressing identified weaknesses and establishing a sustainable process for future feed law delivery, outlined in the consultation document.
A model transferring competency with an ability to delegate would be beneficial.
Any future model would need to be adequately and sustainably resourced; support the maintenance of skills and knowledge of officers delivering official controls; provide consistency to the feed sector and maintain the benefits of local knowledge.
FSS continues to work with stakeholders through an Implementation Group and other mechanisms to develop the infrastructure to deliver the new model.
FSS asked respondents for their views on the newly developed guidance on Food Traceability, Withdrawals and Recalls within the UK Food Industry.
Respondents were broadly supportive of the guidance and supporting tools. Comments received from respondents on the type of information that they wish to see included in the quick reference guide which would support the overarching guidance document.
Consultation responses were used to refine our final guidance document which was published on 12th March 2019. Quick reference guide currently being produced taking into account the comments received as part of the consultation responses.
