October 2021 Food Safety News and Industry Round-up – Safefood 360°
Summary
Multiple country representatives have claimed that the EU Commission failed to provide them with legal statements to enforce the recall quickly enough, with others believing that it will lead to food waste. CFA director, General Karin Goodburn, also claims that there is no obvious public health reason for the benefits, and the system currently in place has proved effective for the past 16 years. China’s latest ban on imports of cattle under 30 months of age from the UK took place on September 29th following a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or ‘mad cow’ disease) allowing for long-term impacts on future trade between the countries. Despite the confirmation of the BSE case, Phil Hadley, the AHDB international market development director, claims the detection proves the stringent food safety controls in place. With the FAO’s food safety strategy set to be released in 2022, respondents also mentioned that it will be important to show interaction and alignment while remaining considerate of the uptake of technological solutions in low resource environments.
