Guidance on completing the LAEMS imported food control screens

Thursday 5 May 2011

Imported food control data is required from all local authorities including inland authorities as well as all port health authorities and authorities with 'point of entry' responsibility.

Imported Food is any food that originates from a Third Country (i.e. any country outside the EU) and may include food sampled at any Food Business Operators (FBO) establishment, including at catering and retail level inland, as well as at point of entry or at an importers.

The guidance below is targeted at all colleagues that will be providing an imported food control return via LAEMS. It is designed to be a step-by-step walkthrough of the system, and provides useful screenshots that those accessing and providing information onto LAEMS will be able to follow.
