Food Safety

Consumers expect food that is safe, unadulterated and clearly labelled. Environmental Health are concerned with ensuring the safety of food, at all stages of production, storage, distribution and sale until it reaches the consumer.

Officers inspect food premises and advise businesses on hygiene, labelling and composition matters. Where contraventions of food legislation are found, officers have powers to serve notice or seize or detain unfit food. They can also prohibit processes or the use of unsatisfactory equipment or in extreme cases close premises. Officers also organise hygiene training courses and other educational initiatives.
