Research and analysis: APHA chemical food safety reports (livestock)

These reports are published by the Animal and Plant Health Agency on behalf of the Food Standards Agency.

They outline investigations on farms when food-producing animals have, or may have, been exposed to chemicals or botulinum toxin and which could then impact food safety.

These investigations take place to ensure that animal health and welfare is protected, and that risk management measures are in place to prevent chemical or botulinum toxin contamination of the food chain.

Previous reports are available on the archived versions of the AHVLA website on the National Archives website.
