SFELCs Mission Statement and Objectives
The Scottish Food Enforcement Liaison Committee supports the work of FSS by providing information and expert advice in relation to food and feed law enforcement. SFELC contributes to the development and implementation of FSS strategies and policies for fulfilling its core functions in respect of food and feed safety and consumer protection.
SFELC helps to co-ordinate food and feed law enforcement activity and provide a forum to share best practice.
The Committee was established to provide an independent recommendation on scientific or technical matters related to regulatory procedures in food and feed law e
nforcement and or any other issue relevant to the work of the committee in order to improve the effectiveness and consistency of food and feed law enforcement in Scotland. Where appropriate, SFELC may research, develop and publish reports and guidance for the enforcement community to assist in the delivery of consistent enforcement throughout Scotland.
SFELC Membership
SFELC is composed of representatives from the membership organisations which includes Local Authority staff, representatives of professional groups, Food Standards Scotland, consumer groups, food industry representatives and other government departments.
In order that the strategic objectives of SFELC can be implemented, Sub-Committees and Working Groups provide a supporting structure for the Committee.
Two Sub-Committees provide a supporting structure for SFELC and help to implement strategic objectives. Four Food Liaison Groups focus upon consistency of food and feed law enforcement activities in their geographical areas. Additionally, there are several Working Groups supporting all the above.
You can view the structure and working arrangements of SFELC in the flowcharts below:
