Food Safety

Food is a basic commodity which we all require. People may have experienced problems with the food which they have purchased either in a shop or restaurant. The Council's Food Safety Team is here to advise consumers and businesses. It is their aim to ensure that the food purchased by consumers in the Stratford-on-Avon District is safe to eat.

The details held in this database of services provide the public and businesses with advice, legislative requirements and information including the work undertaken by the Food Team to protect the District.

For more information about this topic and for further details of the various pieces of legislation that govern our work, please use the link below or on the right:

The Food Safety Team is available to deal with telephone queries during normal office hours. Emergencies outside normal hours are dealt with by the Council's out of hours emergency service.

A newsletter has been produced to show some of the recent work of the team.
