Running a food business means that you have a particular responsibility in protecting the health of your customers.

You must comply with food safety legislation before selling or processing food for sale and this includes registering your food business with the council. This also applies to mobile food traders.

Certain food business establishments are required to be approved rather than registered. You can contact the council if you are unsure which one applies to your business.

Food safety training

The council offers a variety of food hygiene courses for food handlers and managers.  These include:

  • Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) levels 2, 3 and 4.
  • Food safety awards.

Please contact us for further details.
