Assessment of certain UK Farm Assurance schemes against the requirements of the EC Food Hygiene Legislation
|

This paper assesses the coverage of the requirements of the new food hygiene legislation by a number of farm assurance schemes. The schemes initially reviewed here have been selected, as they are participants in a memorandum of understanding between LACORs and Assured Food Standards (AFS). Consideration has not been given to schemes in the dairy and egg sectors where existing hygiene enforcement arrangements have been maintained. Food Standards Agency, 2007.
