The risk assessment updated in 2014:

  • examines new developments in national food standards
  • examines new scientific literature and research on practical risk management measures
  • examines outbreak data

The assessment supports continuation of the scheme and notes low levels of familiar common problems and some emerging issues.

The Food Authority has provided a response to matters raised by Dr Patricia Desmarchelier in the review of the risk assessment as an addendum to the report.
