Food Safety: Information for Businesses

By law, certain types of food businesses must register with us

Manufacturers handling animal produces may also need food premises approval

If you run a food business, you must have a documented food safety management system based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).

We inspect all food premises trading in Fenland

If you have a food business or looking to start a new food business within the district, you may be able to have an advisory visit.

Food Export Health Certificates are issued on request to food businesses who wish to export foodstuff outside the EU. They are provided to assist local exporters in meeting the food safety requirements of the country/countries that the food will be travelling to.

Information for businesses about inspections, revisits and appeals
