On 17 February 2017, Food Standards Scotland (FSS) issued three shellfish consultations as part of a wider review to ensure effective and sustainable future official controls delivery.
Shellfish is a growing sector in Scotland and FSS’s comprehensive review of shellfish controls is intended to help maintain Scotland’s reputation as a producer of safe food and ensure public health protection.
These consultations review the guidance on controls applicable to the scallop sector and our approach to and delivery of shellfish classification and monitoring. They also explore potential partnership working approaches to help maintain the continued delivery of a high quality, robust and proportionate official control programme.
The consultations which run until 12th May 2017 are available at http://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/news/fss-seeks-views-its-shellfish-offici…. Views from all interested parties are welcome.
