About
Food Standards Agency awarded a contract to AFBI for a survey of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Escherichia coli on fresh (not frozen) meats on retail sale in Northern Ireland from 2023 to 2027, including laboratory analysis and data reporting.
The contract, valued at £451,238.75, supports the FSA Strategic Plan by developing a robust evidence base to identify and address emerging risks.
Although AMR is a global public health concern, relatively little is known about the role of the food chain in the transmission of AMR bacteria, including the prevalence of AMR bacteria in retail foods of both animal and non-animal origin.
Surveillance is essential in strengthening the evidence base around these areas.
