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.
