What will happen if an inspector finds problems with food hygiene standards at my business?
This depends on the seriousness of the problem. Minor contraventions will result in the inspector advising on how best to rectify the situation. More serious matters will be dealt with more formally; this may range from the service of statutory notices to possible prosecution for very serious offences. The Food Safety Team operates within an enforcement policy that sets out the range of factors and actions likely to be taken to ensure that business comply with legal requirements.
