More activity

In 2011, the main focus in the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) was on drinking water, welfare of terrestrial animals and fish health. In addition, considerable control activities took place in other fields of inspection. A total of 42 686 inspections were carried out in selected areas for plants, land animals, fish, drinking water and food.

Distribution of inspections to different fields. 2011

Focus on animal welfare

From 2010 to 2011, the number of inspections carried out increased in most areas. In 2011, the focus areas were drinking water, animal welfare and fish health. Traditionally, most inspections have been related to food and food safety. In 2011, the NFSA had a broader working field, and the inspection activity was mostly made up of health and welfare of terrestrial animals.

More inspections

The total number of inspections increased in 2011, which was the first year of the operating system for official control, MATS. This system gave access to more cases, and can partly explain the increase in the number of inspections. Thus, some figures for 2011 are not entirely comparable with earlier years.

Input decreased slightly

NFSA’s total expenditure in 2011 was NOK 1.28 billion, which represents a decrease of 1.6 per cent from 2010. Wage costs amounted to 60.6 per cent, while purchases of goods and services accounted for 39.4 per cent of own production. In total, NFSA employed 1 293 contracted FTEs adjusted for long-term leave in 2011, which is almost unchanged compared to the year before.
