Decision details

The Committee considered the Food Service Plan.

The plan describes how the service is discharged and details the numbers, types and priority ratings of the Borough’s food premises, the frequencies of planned interventions, sampling programmes, health promotion activities, reactive work, including responding to food complaints, food hazard warnings and investigating cases of infectious disease. 

Consideration was given to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food safety inspections.  It was noted that the high risk category included Care Homes and that inspections had not been allowed to take place at the height of the pandemic.  It was also noted that the Food Standards Agency were to outline their expectations, as to how to go forward with inspections, in the near future.

RESOLVED that the Food Service Plan 2021-22 be approved.
