Food safety: amendments to animal feed law code of practice
Consultation on proposed amendments to the the statutory Feed Law Code of Practice (for England and Wales).
Detail
The Feed Law Code of Practice provides statutory guidance to local authorities on the way in which they should carry out official controls at feed businesses and enforce feed law.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has carried out a comprehensive review of the local authority delivery of official animal feed controls in light of both FSA local authority audits and Food and Veterinary Office audits. Proposals to make improvements to the current system were accepted by the FSA Board in November 2012.
The current consultation seeks view of stakeholders on a number of improvements to the way animal feed enforcement is delivered.
