Feedback on Inspection of Low Risk Food Businesses pdf icon PDF 141 KB

At the last Portfolio Holder meeting on 29 August 2017 it was requested that more information be provided on the inspections of low risk food businesses within the South Cambridgeshire area.

 

Within the Food Law code of practice, Food Authorities are able to undertake an alternative inspection program for low risk premises. The Council undertakes most of these inspections via a questionnaire that the food business operator completes. The questionnaires (attached) are sent out with an explanatory letter (attached), giving the business operators 14 days in which to reply. Each returned questionnaire is assessed by a competent food officer and where any concerns are raised, unannounced inspections are subsequently undertaken. Where the business operator fails to respond to the questionnaire or hygiene complaints are made about the business, a full inspection is undertaken.
