Food Safety for Businesses
Our food safety service exists to make sure food businesses have clean premises and provide safe food.
We have an annual inspection programme to ensure that food businesses are inspected on a regular basis to check if they are meeting the legal requirements and to promote high standards.
If you have a complaint about unsatisfactory food or a food business, we can investigate the matter.
In severe cases or where risks to public health exist we can take legal action.
People can be made ill by unhygienic food eaten out or at home.
As part of our prevention work we also provide details of access to training courses in food safety; so people know what they must do to provide safe food and prevent food poisoning.
On the right are a number of links to information and documents which cover food safety matters in more detail.
