What is an Approval?
The processing and manufacture of certain foods is covered by specific legislation. These can be premises dealing with fish, meat products, milk products, etc. Premises must apply to the council for approval to trade. Before approval is granted, premises will be checked to ensure compliance with the specific criteria listed in the legislation. The activities carried out in these premises are more strictly governed, requiring a higher standard of structure and operating procedure. Once approved, the premises are given a unique number known as a health mark, which is printed on their labels. The approved premises are notified to the Food Standards Agency. For further information contact the Environmental Health Division.
