Agency publishes Q&A on cross-contamination guidance

2 Jun 2011 09:50 AM

The Food Standards Agency yesterday published a Q&A document in response to feedback on its guidance on the control of cross-contamination with E. coli O157.

The document addresses a number of questions raised by stakeholders in the food industry and in food law enforcement authorities.

It will be an evolving document, being updated as new issues or questions arise.

The guidance was published in February 2011 after a full public consultation in 2010.

If you have any further questions about the guidance then you should send them to controllingecoli@foodstandards.gsi.gov.uk. This address should also be used for any feedback about the application of this guidance in food businesses or its use by enforcement authorities.
