Q. The number of compliance breaches recorded relating to food hygiene/ safety in areas monitored by CCTV.
A. While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance Food Standards Scotland does not hold the information you have requested. Food Safety Breaches are not recorded in a way that permits correlation with CCTV configuration.
Food Standards Scotland takes animal welfare extremely seriously and actively monitors compliance in all approved slaughterhouses in Scotland. All animal welfare breaches that occur within approved slaughterhouses in Scotland are investigated as a priority and action is taken by qualified official veterinary personnel working on behalf of Food Standards Scotland, who are on site during slaughter.
