FSA CHIEF EXECUTIVE TO LEAVE IN SEPTEMBER

Emily Miles is to leave her role as the FSA’s Chief Executive in September 2024 following her appointment as Director General of Food, Biosecurity and Trade at Defra.  

Katie Pettifer, who is currently the Director of Strategy and Regulatory Compliance, at the FSA will act as interim CEO while a permanent replacement is found. Emily Miles said: 

I’m delighted to take up this new challenge, but I’m really sad to be leaving the FSA. I joined it in 2019, before Brexit, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, and the cost of living crisis.   

The organisation has achieved a huge amount in these five years with a determined focus on delivering food you can trust. I know that I’m leaving the FSA in the strong hands of the FSA leadership team and our Chair Professor Susan Jebb.  I am very grateful for the hard work and dedication of my colleagues in the FSA, and look forward to continuing to work with them in my new role. 

The BFFF wishes Emily all the best and look forward to working with her once again in her new role. 

PROFESSOR SUSAN JEBB TO CONTINUE AS FSA CHAIR

The Chair of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Professor Susan Jebb, has had her appointment extended, having previously indicated her intention to stand down. 

Professor Jebb’s three-year term as FSA Chair was due to end on 30 June 2024, but Ministers had asked her to stay on. There was insufficient time before the election to complete this process but a temporary extension has been agreed to allow consideration by new Ministers. Professor Jebb who, alongside her FSA role, is also Professor of Diet and Population Health at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the University of Oxford, said:  

“It remains a huge privilege to be the Chair of such a fantastic organisation, and I am happy to remain as FSA Chair at this important time. I am extremely grateful to colleagues at the University of Oxford whose support has made this possible.”  

The appointment is made by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and counterparts in Wales and NI.   

CHIEF VET URGES VIGILANCE FOR BLUETONGUE VIRUS

The UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer has urged farmers to remain vigilant for bluetongue virus. There has been a recent increase in confirmed BTV-3 cases in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium with some animals showing severe clinical signs. Last November, APHA and The Pirbright Institute identified the first case of the disease in Great Britain through the annual bluetongue surveillance programme.

Bluetongue virus is primarily transmitted by midge bites and affects cattle, goats, sheep and camelids such as llamas. The impacts on susceptible animals can vary greatly – some show no clinical signs or effects at all while for others it can cause productivity issues such as reduced milk yield, while in the most severe cases can be fatal for infected animals. Bluetongue does not affect human health or food safety. The virus can also be spread through germplasm (semen, ova, and embryos) as well as transmitted from mother to unborn offspring.

As of 23rd September 2024, following reports of suspicion of clinical disease in cattle at premises in Norfolk one new case of BTV-3 has been confirmed. This brings the total number of cases to 98. You can keep updated with the latest situation here

Biting midge activity increases with warmer weather, and there remains a very high probability of a new introduction of bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) into livestock in Great Britain in 2024 through infected biting midges being blown over from northern Europe. Biting midges are most active between April and November and the timing of a potential incursion will depend on the temperature and wind patterns.

 

BSACI PUBLISH NEW GUIDELINES FOR USING PALFORZIA® IN PEANUT ALLERGY TREATMENT

The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) has published new guidelines for using Palforzia®, a treatment that helps children with peanut allergies build tolerance safely. This treatment aims to reduce the severity of allergic reactions in case of accidental exposure to peanuts, and therefore reduce the risk of anaphylaxis. 

Peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies among children and is often a lifelong condition. Palforzia® works by gradually introducing small amounts of peanut protein to help them build tolerance and reduce severe allergic reactions. The treatment involves multiple visits to increase the dose, careful monitoring, and eventually transitioning to eating peanuts daily in a real-world setting.  

You can read more, and access a link to the guidelines, on the Anaphylaxis UK website here
