The original use of “Business As Usual” was during wartime, a deliberate attempt to maintain public calm while the world collapsed around them. So the question is this: What war, exactly, is the FSA trying to normalise? Against transparency, perhaps? If that is the case, it's interesting that it started at a time that is significant for CBD Novel Foods. That is provable through the 2021 FSA FOI report, which, other than a modified response on 17/06/21, shows an abrupt stop

This is bigger than novel foods. This is about regulatory manipulation and undeclared conflicts of a senior Civil Servant when investigating a complaint that was made in the public interest.
