Understanding Food Safety Prosecutions
Food safety law in the UK is governed by the Food Safety Act 1990 and various regulations, including the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006. These laws impose strict obligations on food businesses to maintain hygiene standards, ensure food safety, and comply with inspections carried out by local authorities.
A food safety prosecution can arise from breaches such as:
Poor hygiene and sanitation
Cross-contamination risks
Inadequate food storage and handling
Pest infestations
