Pembrokeshire

The food and feedingstuffs law enforcement service provided by the Authority at the time of the audit was generally satisfactory and there was evidence that an extensive service improvement programme was underway. The auditors were encouraged by evidence of the recent appointments of Senior Officers who had responsibility for managing the service.

The Authority was actively promoting the food safety and standards service and was also providing a range of information to food and feedingstuffs premises in its area.

The management of a modern, effective, and efficient food and feedingstuffs enforcement service is dependent on an accurate and up to date data management and information system. Although the Authority's system appeared to be essentially sound and robust and capable of performing effectively, some deficiencies in data quality and accuracy were identified at the time of audit.
