The UK Multi-Annual National Control Plan （MANCP） has been extended to the end of March 2016. The Food Standards Agency has today published the updated version of the MANCP.

The MANCP is a requirement of Regulation （EC） No 882/2004 on official controls. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that effective control systems are in place for monitoring and enforcing feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules, and plant health law.
