In the food regulation system, FSANZ occupies a central role as an expert, science-based source of advice on a broad range of food-related issues and assessment of food-related risks. To fulfil this role, it's imperative to ensure the advice we provide is robust and up to date.
The overarching aim of FSANZ's Microbiological Evidence Base Plan is to provide a trusted, robust and contemporary microbiological evidence base to support food safety risk-management measures in Australia and New Zealand.The plan links to the FSANZ science Strategy, specifically on how to support Strategic Area 2 - improving scientific evidence.
