Food Standards Scotland’s (FSS) have recently published their Strategy to 2026 which sets out a vision for a safe, healthy and sustainable food environment that benefits and protects the health and well-being of everyone in Scotland.
Three of the priority outcomes are that Food is Safe and Authentic, responsible food businesses are able to thrive and FSS is trusted and influential.
The strategy sets out a framework for the analysis of information and data in relation to food and feed incidents with the aim of identifying effective long term preventative actions. An integral part of this is the sharing of information and learning between FSS, industry and key stakeholders.
FSS will look to identify potential issues through horizon scanning coupled with identifying common themes, best practice and lessons learned from incidents as well as utilising information and intelligence shared by industry. This strategy will take cognisance of other incident prevention work elsewhere in the UK and around the world to help ensure the furthest reaching data sets feed into FSS analysis and preventative action.
