Scottish Food Report Published 

11 January 2010
An annual report of food sampling data collected by Scottish local authorities (LAs) and their laboratories during 2008 has been published. The report indicates that the majority of samples tested were found to comply with food safety and standards legislation. However, the report highlighted a 10% decrease in food sampling in Scotland between 2007 and 2008 and emphasised the importance of surveillance measures currently in place in protecting public health and consumer interests in relation to food. The results have been published by the Scottish Food Enforcement Liaison Committee's Research Working Group.

Guy ThiranSecretary-GeneralEurometaux
I've been using EU Issue Tracker for more than three years: it offers me daily updated, detailed and high quality information on the Environmental, Health & Safety issues I am following, saving me valuable time at a very fair cost/benefit ratio.
Eddy RoelantsVice-President Technology and Environmental PolicySIEMENS AG
The Issue Tracker saves me huge amounts of time. It's like having another member of staff. The 'past-present-future' approach is very useful too.
James JohnstonPolicy AdviserScottish Government
Given the wide scope of issues to be covered under food policy, it is practically impossible to be always up-to-date on all issues. Issue Tracker is therefore a very useful tool! Not only does it send an alert when there is progress made on the dossiers, but it can be easily accessed whenever necessary.
Adviser on Food Policy and CustomersEuroCommerce
EU Issue Tracker is second-to-none in terms of up-to-date regulatory monitoring. The user-friendly tool delivered by EU Issue Tracker's high quality team saves time and energy but delivers what you need, when you need it.
