UK - The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) has issued a draft report reviewing advice about vitamin A. Interested parties can comment on the draft report before 8 April 2005. SACN will consider the comments and publish the final report in summer 2005. SACN is an independent expert committee that advises the Agency and other Government departments.

SACN's review of dietary advice on vitamin A included consideration of the vitamin A content of animal feed obtained from the analysis of samples taken by local authorities during 2002. A summary of the local authorities' data is available from the link at the bottom of this page.
