E-seminar: Examples of sampling approaches employed by the FSA
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring that food is safe and what it says it is. As part of this work, the FSA carries out a range of sampling and testing activities to check that food businesses are complying with food safety law.
