Food Standards awarded a contract to Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science for consumer habits research around radiological sites, valued at £448,000.

The project is part of the radiological programme that includes monitoring and assessing the impact on the food chain of radiological discharges, monitoring radioactivity levels in food, and predictive modelling of exposure.

The work enables FSA to assure the public about the safety of food, contributing to public confidence in the nuclear industry and power generation, and the results inform the annual Radioactivity in Food and the Environment report.
