The United Kingdom’s top food microbiology lab has continued to see a drop in communications with European counterparts after Brexit.
Findings come from a report covering work of the UK’s national reference laboratory (NRL) for food microbiology between April 2022 and March 2023.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) provides the service for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS). It covers Listeria monocytogenes, coagulase-positive staphylococci, E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, and antimicrobial resistance.
