Officers from the Food Safety team carry out routine sampling of food on a programmed basis from food businesses in the district. Samples are tested to see if they contain dangerous bacteria. If a product is found not to comply with standards we can insist on it being removed from sale. Testing can often flag up potential problems so we can work with food businesses before they become larger areas of concern.
