The Food Standards Agency is seeking stakeholders’ views on the proposed amendments to the guidance on the control of E. coli O157 and cross-contamination.
Following a routine review of the guidance, the Agency has decided to move it to a new format to increase understanding and accessibility. There have been no changes to the policy, science or law.
The changes were:
- Updates to the format to improve accessibility and simplify language
- An increased number of diagrams to aid understanding
- New ‘information’ pop outs
- Clarification of separation section
- Clarification of chemical disinfection section
- Legal references moved into ‘The law’ boxes
The closing date for comments is 21 December 2018.
