The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has published its Forward Evidence Plan for 2012.
The plan outlines priority science and evidence activities for the coming year, including potential areas for research funding and workshops that will help develop the agency’s evidence base.
The proposed activities cover a wide range of areas within the agency’s remit:
- Microbiological food safety, including campylobacter, E.coli, listeria and norovirus.
- Future meat controls, and food and feed hygiene policy.
- Chemical safety of food, including metals and organic contaminants.
- Food law enforcement, including imported foods and food safety management systems.
- Various cross-cutting areas, for example social sciences.
- Diet and health related work funded by the FSA in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
