Regulation No. 1000 on the monitoring of antibiotic resistance in live animals, food, feed, fertilizers and seeds.

The present Regulation, issued by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, establishes detailed rules for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in Iceland in live animals, food, feed, fertilizer, and seed. It formally incorporates EU Decision 2013/652/EU into Icelandic law. The Regulation assigns the Food and Veterinary Authority responsibility for organizing surveillance and reporting, and requires systematic sampling, laboratory testing, and data collection on key bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, and Enterococcus. It sets technical standards for sampling frequency, laboratory methods, quality control, and reporting, ensuring harmonized, comparable data across sectors. The regulation is grounded in Icelandic food, animal health, and feed legislation.
