An independent council is being set up to advise the Government on food safety issues. Food Safety Minister Nikki Kaye says it will have six members skilled in food regulation, public health, science, business and international relations.

Establishing the Food Safety Assurance Advisory Council was one of the 29 recommendations that came out of the Government’s inquiry into Fonterra’s whey protein contamination crisis.

“At the moment there’s no independent group that looks at the whole of New Zealand’s food safety and assurance system and is able to provide high-level independent advice and risk analysis,” Ms Kaye said.

“The council is being set up to do this. It will also identify current and future trends and risks that may impact on our food safety and assurance system.”

Members will be appointed in time for the council to hold its first meeting in July
