Overview
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) is consulting to seek stakeholder views, comments and feedback in relation to market authorisation of a traditional food from a third country, the Bambara Groundnut. The intended use is for food products.
FSS is consulting on behalf of the Minister for Public Health and Women's Health. This consultation seeks stakeholder’s views, comments and feedback in relation to the conditions for use, specific labelling requirements, or post-market monitoring requirements of the traditional food from a third country.
The views gathered through this consultation will be considered and included alongside those of Officials across FSS and other Government Departments to inform Ministers’ decision-making on the proposed terms of authorisation.
FSS has launched a four-week public consultation on Wednesday 28 January 2026. We would welcome your views on our proposed recommendations of amendments.
The consultation will close on 25 February 2026.
