Food Standards in Scotland

Independent expert panel set up to consider the future delivery of food standards in Scotland

An independent expert panel has been set up by Scottish Ministers to consider the future delivery of the food standards regime in Scotland.  It follows the UK Government's decision last year to absorb some of the policy areas overseen in England by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), a UK-wide body, back into Whitehall departments.

Chaired by the UK's former chief vet, Jim Scudamore, the review panel will consider the feasibility of establishing a dedicated Scottish FSA, and also the merits of establishing a standalone meat inspection delivery service in Scotland.
