The letter provided the revised UK National Monitoring Plan (NMP) sampling priorities table for the import of products of animal origin (POAO) for the period April 2021 to March 2022 which becomes effective from 1 April 2021.
The objective of the NMP is to make sure that food imported into the UK complies with relevant legislation, and to detect residues, pathogenic organisms or other substances dangerous to humans, animals or the environment. The NMP is updated annually and is based on the nature of the products and the risk they represent, taking into account all relevant monitoring parameters such as frequency and number of incoming consignments, and results of previous monitoring
