Radioactivity in Food Monitoring Review

摘要

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) operates a programme to monitor for radioactivity in food. The results from nthis programme are used to assess the dose (risk) to consumers from eating this food. n nThe programme has been operated, with few changes, for over 20 years and a review has been initiated to nensure that the work undertaken is appropriate to the needs of consumer protection and the FSA. The intention is nto explore the rationale behind the programme and sample selection to ensure that the programme, is optimised, nrisk-based and in line with current best practice guidance. Views are now being sought on proposals developed nby the FSA in this regard.
