About this consultation
Consultation target audience
Raw drinking milk (RDM) and raw cream producers in Northern Ireland and England, RDM consumers, enforcement authorities and those with an interest in RDM.
Consultation subject
In July 2015, the Food Standard Agency’s (FSA) Board discussed the conclusions of the review on RDM. One of the recommendations was that risk communication, particularly to vulnerable groups, should be improved and this should include revisions to labelling requirements in Northern Ireland and England to mirror that already used in Wales. The Food Hygiene Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (as amended) and the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013 would need to be amended to provide new labelling provisions to protect vulnerable consumers against the risks associated with the consumption of RDM and to extend labelling provisions to all species.
Consultation purpose
To provide interested parties with the opportunity to comment and express their opinions on the proposed labelling provisions to protect vulnerable consumers and the associated Impact Assessment.
