Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has announced that it will no longer pursue the creation of pathogen thresholds specific to Scotland. Instead, the organisation will adopt the existing approach established for the United Kingdom by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The decision comes as part of a broader update on efforts to reduce foodborne illness across the country, as reported by Food Safety News.
