FSA calls for food safety research
The FSA is inviting researchers to tender for two projects. One to develop a tool to identify good and bad aspects of the culture towards food safety in businesses, and the other to evaluate the risk of buying food through the internet.
Recent outbreaks of food poisoning have drawn attention to the fact that problems with food hygiene may be partly due to a business’s attitude and culture towards food safety.
The agency is commissioning a review of existing safety culture diagnostic tools used in businesses. This will result in the development of a tool that can identify features, both positive and negative, associated with safety cultures in food businesses.
The second project the FSA is a desk-based review to examine internet food sales throughout the UK. The research should consider risks from microbiological, chemical or physical contaminants, inadequate labelling, and whether foods are non-approved or banned in the EU.
