Guide to Primary Production Food and Feed Hygiene Inspections in Scotland
Friday 8 April 2011
This guidance, directed to local food and feed authorities, is intended to provide advice on the primary production food and feed hygiene enforcement regime in Scotland, which is described in Annex 10 of the Food Law Code of Practice (Scotland).
The relevant legislation is EC Regulation No. 852/2004 and EC Regulation No. 183/2005 and it is the responsibility of the food and/or feed business operator to comply with the regulations.
The guidance has been developed by representatives of the Primary Production Enforcement Working Group in Scotland (a working group of the Scottish Food Law Enforcement Committee) and has been produced to provide advice on:
- the legal requirements as they relate to primary production, and
- best practice in this area
This document is considered a working document and shall be reviewed on an annual basis. We would welcome feedback from enforcement officers on whether this guidance provides the information that is required and comments on presentation of information.
