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.
