FSA: tender to evaluate the effectiveness of independently accredited assurance schemes and the role they could play in the delivery of official controls at UK points of entry

The Food Standards Agency invites proposals for its tender to evaluate the effectiveness of independently accredited assurance schemes and the role they could play in the delivery of official controls at UK points of entry.

This is for research that will improve the understanding of the role accredited certification schemes might play within the deployment of imported food and feed checks at UK points of entry. The research will help FSA to contribute to the delivery of the two strategic outcomes of imported food safety and effective risk-based enforcement.
