About the consultation
We are developing a national strategy to reduce foodborne illness related to Campylobacter and Salmonella. It will outline specific interventions across the food chain to do this.
We are seeking your thoughts on:
- what actions are needed to reduce foodborne illness
- what the key challenges are to managing the risks of foodborne illness
- what activities the strategy should cover, aside from the 4 core areas already suggested
- any activities already underway in your sector that could contribute to the strategy
- how we can strengthen the evidence base for decision making.
For more detail, view the consultation document below.
This consultation is open to everyone.
