Professor Troop presented her key findings to the FSA Board and the final report summarises her recommendations.
The recommendations include:
the need for improved intelligence across the food industry the need for the FSA to strengthen its major incident plan improved clarity of the role of Government departments in large, complex incidents review of the FSA’s powers and the use of framework agreements and codes of conduct
