FSA and FSS – New application system for regulated products

A new application system for regulated products has been launched by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS). 

Feed additives and GMOs fall under the scope of regulated products as will precision bred products. 
The new, more efficient system aims to help businesses follow the correct procedure when it comes to securing the necessary authorisation to sell regulated food and feed products.
Applicants are provided with a checklist of what is required, will be allowed more time for the application and supporting material to be uploaded and completed, and will be able to see the progress of their application. Applicants will also receive regular updates, which they can respond to. 

Additionally, the system will support renewals but will not affect applications already in progress on the previous system.
