After the horse meat scandal (in 2012), it is clear that food safety and integrity in the food production chain must be better safeguarded. To this end, the Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport and the Dutch Minister for Agriculture established the Food Confidence Task Force in March 2013 together with the meat, dairy and animal feed sectors, with the objective of taking measures to restore consumer confidence in food products. The Task Force presented its action plan in June 2013 and has started the implementation of this plan.
