One of the recommendations of The Timbury Report on Food Related Scientific Services in Scotland (1998) sought improvement in food safety monitoring for Scotland. FSA Scotland responded to this recommendation by commissioning the research project A National Food Surveillance System for Scotland (Project S01005). <p>This project will ensure that all results from microbiological and chemical analysis of food conducted by Scottish Local Authorities are entered onto a central database. Analysis of this database will highlight any Scotland-wide problems and allow Local Authorities and the FSA Scotland to act swiftly to protect public health.
