CONTAMINANTS / ADDITIVES / ENZYMES – FSA Food Safety Policy Update (February 2014)

This latest issue of our periodic update bulletin provides you with information on the key developments within the Food Safety Policy.

The attached summary of news items details the areas covered in this bulletin, and clicking on the associated links will take you directly to the relevant material.

You may also wish to note that the Chemical Safety Division has recently merged with the Hygiene and Microbiology Division and is now called Food Safety Policy. As a result of this we are considering whether to extend this bulletin to cover matters relating to feed and food hygiene/microbiology.

This would considerably increase the size of the bulletin and the size of the distribution list. I would therefore appreciate your feedback on whether you would like the the update to continue and, if so, whether it should be expanded to cover feed and food hygiene/microbiology. Please send your comments to:Benjamin.nketiah@foodstandards.gsi.gov.uk
