Action 6 – Beef Burgers Served Less Than Thoroughly Cooked: Update (FSA 20/03/08)
|
To provide update to Board Members on the outcome of the consultation on the proposed revision to the guidance on less than thoroughly cooked burgers and on the additional level of assurance about the triggers, controls, and the ability to monitor and implement them. |
Update March 2022 |
Rebecca Sudworth
Complete: Responses to the less than thoroughly cooked (LTTC) beef burgers consultation were published on 11 October 2022.
Work is progressing on the revision of the guidance text, via the LTTC beef burger working group to accommodate comments, improve accessibility and address areas that require better clarity for the user. Unfortunately, the timing of the publication and progress of this work has been impacted by the necessity to prioritise work on REUL; whilst the work on LTTC beef burgers has been progressing in the background, it has not been classified as a priority work area as there were no changes required to policy or enforcement. Changes undertaken include:
We have initiated mechanisms for reviewing controls and implementation of the escalation approach to identify incidents and monitor changes that could impact on risk.
The LTTC beef burger working group is currently in the process of finalising the changes to the initial revised guidance with the proposal to publish the updated version of the guidance on the FSA website by the end of March
