    The Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) have initiated a public consultation seeking opinions on two vital changes aimed at modernising the authorisation process for regulated food and feed products. These changes are designed to streamline the system, offering quicker access to safe, innovative food choices for consumers and they will not compromise food standards or safety in any way. The proposed reforms include: 1. Removing the requirement for products already authorised as safe to undergo a fixed 10-year renewal, regardless of whether evidence on safety changes, reducing unnecessary strain on resources. 2. Simplifying the administrative procedure to authorise products, enabling quicker market entry following ministerial approval. Your feedback is invaluable as we aim to modernise our system. 📅 Deadline for responses: 5 June 2024 For more details and to participate, visit ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eUQwp9K7 #FoodSafety #PublicConsultation #InnovationInFood --- 🔍 Lansio ymgynghoriad ar ddiwygiadau i’r broses awdurdodi cynhyrchion bwyd Mae’r Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd (ASB) a Safonau Bwyd yr Alban (FSS) wedi lansio ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus i geisio safbwyntiau ar ddau newid hanfodol, gyda’r nod o foderneiddio’r broses awdurdodi ar gyfer cynhyrchion bwyd a bwyd anifeiliaid rheoleiddiedig. Mae’r newidiadau hyn wedi’u cynllunio i symleiddio’r system, gan gynnig mynediad cyflymach i ddefnyddwyr at ddewisiadau bwyd diogel ac arloesol, ac ni fyddant yn peryglu safonau bwyd na diogelwch mewn unrhyw ffordd. Mae’r diwygiadau arfaethedig yn cynnwys: 1. Cael gwared ar y gofyniad i gynhyrchion sydd eisoes wedi’u hawdurdodi fel rhai diogel gael eu hadnewyddu bob 10 mlynedd, ni waeth a yw tystiolaeth ar ddiogelwch yn newid, gan leihau straen diangen ar adnoddau. 2. Symleiddio’r broses weinyddol o awdurdodi cynhyrchion, gan alluogi mynediad cyflymach i’r farchnad yn dilyn cymeradwyaeth weinidogol. Mae eich adborth yn amhrisiadwy wrth i ni anelu at foderneiddio ein system. 📅 Dyddiad cau ar gyfer ymatebion: 5 Mehefin 2024 I gael mwy o fanylion ac i ymateb i’r ymgynghoriad, ewch i ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eNs6pPQ3 #DiogelwchBwyd #YmgynghoriadCyhoeddus #ArloesiMewnBwyd
