Food premises approval
People who manufacture or process meat, egg, dairy, and fish products for retail sale at other premises require approval from the Food and Safety Team.
The approval process
Issuing approval rests with the council. After receiving an application (often before) an officer will visit the premises to ensure that all the requirements for the approval are being met. Once this is achieved approval will be confirmed and an approval number issued. For approval to be given there is no consultation exercise with other agencies or the public.
