Food Standards Scotland ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhe-Bidhe Alba)) is a non-ministerial government department of the Scottish Government. It is responsible for food safety, food standards, nutrition, food labelling and meat inspection in Scotland. Established by the Food (Scotland) Act 2015, Food Standards Scotland has taken over the responsibilities of the UK-wide organisation, the Food Standards Agency, in Scotland. ==Duties == The key areas of responsibility outlined in the Act include: * making sure food in Scotland remains safe to eat * providing advice around improving diet and nutrition for people in Scotland * providing regulation effectively and proportionately * supporting the food and drink industry in Scotland, including its reputation * supporting food and drink policy in Scotland As well as replacing the duties of the Food Standards Agency in Scotland, the new body will have a role in diet and nutrition policy. The new body would also be granted powers to be able to seize food where labelling rules have not been met. FSS has a consumer protection role: making sure that food is safe to eat, ensuring consumers know what they are eating and improving nutrition. FSS has a vision of a food and drink environment in Scotland that benefits, protects and is trusted by consumers. FSS will have a role in providing information and advice on food safety and standards, nutrition and labelling. The information provided will need to be independent, consistent, evidence-based and consumer-focused. FSS develops policies, provides policy and consumer advice and delivers a robust regulatory and enforcement strategy. FSS is funded mainly by government and charges fees to recover costs for regulatory functions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Food Standards Scotland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
