[218700] Miss Melanie Johnson: [holding answer 1 March 2005]: The Food Standards Agency (FSA) contacted a wide range of stakeholders on the issue of Sudan contamination of food. No discussions were held specifically with the Institute of Grocery Distribution Emergency Planning Liaison Group. The FSA has not contacted the Central Science Laboratory in connection with this contamination. The FSA helped fund development of cheap tests for Sudan 1 dye, working with Public Analysts Laboratories. Officials from the FSA were first in contact with the European Commission about contamination of foods with Sudan 1 in June 2003 when instances of contamination were initially identified. This contact has continued on a regular basis regarding this contamination. The FSA has had no direct contact with the Global Food Safety Initiative. The FSA first informed the British Retail Consortium and other stakeholders of the risk of contamination of food with Sudan 1 in July 2003. No formal contact was made between the FSA and the Health Protection Agency over this incident of contamination of food with Sudan 1. It is the FSA's responsibility to protect public health in relation to food. No direct contact has been made with the World Health Organisation or Food and Drug Administration on the issue of contamination of United Kingdom foods with Sudan 1.
