  • It is a great pity that not all of Prof Elliot's Eight Pillars of Food Integrity are in place. It could be argued that the FAN is the only one of the six parts of Recommendation 4 that saw the light of day. There was simply no appetite in Government or Public Health England to work with local authorities with their own laboratories to consider appropriate options for an integrated shared scientific service around food standards. When the review was published there were six local authority laboratories in England, now there are three.
