SFPA INVITES INDUSTRY TO ON-LINE BRIEFING SESSION

SFPA invites industry to on-line briefing session on revised Code of Practice. SFPA publishes revised Code of Practice for the classification and microbiological monitoring of bivalve mollusc production areas in Ireland.

The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority (SFPA) will provide an online briefing session for shellfish industry members highlighting key elements of the revised Code of Practice for the Classification and Microbiological Monitoring of Bivalve Mollusc Production Areas in Ireland on Thursday the 11^th of December. The briefing session is part of a Seafood Safety Workshop co-hosted by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in conjunction with the SFPA.
