Listen to this siteDetails of food regulation, guidance and enforcement work undertaken by FSA Scotland
We're committed to auditing councils enforcement activities and then publicising the results on our website to help promote best practice.
From 1 September 2010, responsibility for certain aspects of labelling in England has been transferred from the Food Standards Agency to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Details of consultations
SFELC is a group that co-ordinates the food law enforcement and sampling and surveillance activities of Scottish local authorities and comprises representatives of central and local government, consumers and industry.
The FSA issues a 'Product Withdrawal Information Notice' or a 'Product Recall Information Notice' to let local authorities and consumers know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
