The Border Notifications (BN) dashboard is primarily an IT tool designed to exchange information between the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Port Health Authorities (PHAs) in England and Wales on health risks related to imported food and feed. The BN system underpins the exchange of information to PHAs on food and feed related risks. This tool enables PHAs to take coordinated, coherent, and simultaneous actions to ensure the highest possible level of consumer protection. A BN is triggered by a PHA on the BN dashboard module when the existence of a serious, direct, or indirect, risk to public health linked to imported food or feed is detected.
