SIU code of practice flawed, says IFA

A code of practice has been drawn up for the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of the Department of Agriculture and Food.

But the IFA said the measures are fundamentally flawed and called for a properly negotiated and agreed document.

The SIU is part of the controls system in place to ensure that the Department’s strategy is to ensure that the highest standards of food safety, animal health and welfare are achieved.
