Food Safety Service Plan

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

It is written in the format prescribed by the FSA, its purpose being to demonstrate that East Cambridgeshire District Council has in place adequate and effective arrangements to meet its statutory obligations in respect of food safety.

The plan covers both the regulatory and support work undertaken by the Environmental Health Service to protect the public health in East Cambridgeshire in respect of the food chain, whether they work in food business or are a food consumer. The five-year document is reviewed annually and sets out work for the coming year.
