Blaenau Gwent

The food hygiene enforcement service has significantly improved the inspection and record keeping relating to general and licensed butchers premises over the last two years while the food standards and feedingstuffs service has developed use of the database and procedures relating to their activity.

However, these developments have been in isolation from the whole service. To ensure that the Authority fully complies with all areas of the standard, there needs to be a exchange of information across the service. Such co-operation should enable the effective monitoring of activity and the production of accurate records and statistical returns.
