FSA Releases New Model for Food Standards Controls, UK Inspections to Become More Risk-Based
Effectively introducing a new model for food standards regulation, the UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has published the revised Food Law Code of Practice for England and Northern Ireland. The new model will be rolled out in phases, beginning summer 2023.
The changes are intended to help local authorities take a more risk-based and intelligence-driven approach to inspection, focusing their time and resources on food businesses that pose the greatest public health concern to consumers.
