Food sampling and contacting us
Food samples are taken for microbiological examination. The samples are examined to find out if they are acceptable for people to eat.
We will always re-sample unsatisfactory food and the place it came from. An environmental health officer may visit the premises. This can be where the food is still not good enough, or where initial results suggest a serious risk of illness.
We will then investigate where the contamination came from. We will advise the business of any changes they must make when handling food. We will take more samples to make sure the problem has been fixed.
