Following the decision by Scottish Government Ministers to create a new Scottish body for food safety and standards, feed safety and standards, nutrition, food labeling and meat inspection the Scottish Government has launched a consultation on creating the New Food Body in Scotland.

You are invited to take this opportunity to tell the Scottish Government what you think the role of the new food body should be and how food safety and standards should be addressed in Scotland in the future.

The consultation can be accessed on the Scottish Government website at the following link: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2013/02/2691 

The closing date for responses is the 22 May 2013.
