Who will this consultation be of most interest to? This consultation will be of most interest to the food industry, hospitality industry, consumer bodies, enforcement bodies, health care practioners and government departments/agencies with an interest in microbiological risk from shell eggs and their products. What is the subject of this consultation? The Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food (ACMSF) report that provides an update on the microbiological risk from shell eggs and their products. What is the purpose of this consultation? The ACMSF is inviting stakeholders views on its draft report. In particular, the Committee would welcome comments on the report’s conclusions and recommendations. Comments specifically on risk management are not within the remit of the Committee and are therefore not within the scope of this consultation. In producing its report, the ACMSF’s Ad Hoc Group on Eggs assessed the current level of microbiological risk to consumers (including vulnerable groups) from raw or lightly cooked shell eggs and their products and also assessed how the risk with respect to salmonella has changed since the last ACMSF report on this subject which was published in 2001.
