The Codes of Practice (CoP) set out instructions and criteria to which LAs (Food Authorities) should have regard when engaged in the enforcement of food law. Authorities must have regard to the processes and criteria in the Code when carrying out Official Food Controls.
The Code reflects current policy on enforcement and economic circumstances to ensure that intervention and enforcement action taken by officers is effective, consistent and proportionate.
