Food Safety Service Plan

Through its Food Law Code of Practice, revised in 2017, the Food Standards Agency requires each regulatory authority to prepare, adopt and regularly review a Food Safety Service Plan.

The West Suffolk Food Safety Service Plan 2019-20 was prepared in June 2019 and includes data relating to the previous St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Forest Heath District Council.

The plan covers both the regulatory and support work undertaken by the Environmental Health Service to protect the public health in West Suffolk in respect of the food chain, whether they work in food business or are a food consumer. It will be reviewed annually and includes elements of review of the year just ended as well as setting out the work for the coming year.
