The Scottish Food Enforcement Liaison Committee (SFELC) supports the work of FSS by providing information and expert advice in relation to food law enforcement. SFELC contributes to the development and implementation of Food Standard Scotland (FSS) strategies and policies for fulfilling its core functions in respect of food law and consumer protection.
SFELC helps to co-ordinate food 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 law enforcement and or any other issue relevant to the work of the committee in order to improve the effectiveness and consistency of food 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.
The SFELC Executive is a SFELC Sub-Committee which supports the efficient operation of SFELC oversight of the broad range of topics covered by SFELC Sub-Committees and Working Groups.
