The FSA have launched a consultation seeking stakeholders’ views on proposed changes to the Food Law Code of Practice in England, to implement a new food standards delivery model.
The main proposals involve fundamental changes to the food standards delivery model within the Code, and associated content, namely the introduction of a:
- new food standards intervention rating scheme that LA officers will use to evaluate the risk posed by a food business
- new decision matrix to determine the frequency at which food standards official controls should be delivered in line with the outcome of the risk assessment
The proposed policy changes described above are intended to enable LAs to:
- reduce the number of harmful or non-compliant products on the market
- more effectively target available resources to the areas of greatest risk within the supply chain
- have greater flexibility to determine the appropriate official control method/s and technique/s to use depending on the risk posed by a business

The deadline for responding to the consultation is midnight 9th January 2023.
