FSA publishes its fourth Retail Surveillance Survey

2 Oct 2024

The FSA Retail Surveillance Sampling programme is targeted at areas of known or potential food safety risk. The survey took place from July 2023 to January 2024 and sampled 1025 products in total, including those that may be found in a typical basket of food, along with a range of other products.

Food samples were bought from national supermarkets and smaller independent retailers, with some samples bought online. The samples were tested for undeclared allergens, contaminants, adulteration, inaccurate composition or incorrect labelling.

Food authenticity rates for samples tested were 97% compliant for the areas of authenticity tested
