This consultation seeks stakeholders’ views on proposed changes to the Food Law Code of Practice and Practice Guidance in Northern Ireland
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has launched a consultation on proposed changes to the Food Law Code of Practice and Practice Guidance in Northern Ireland.
The Code sets out statutory guidance which councils follow when carrying out official food control activities.
The proposals are intended to enhance more effective use of district council resource, increase consistency in the delivery of official controls by providing clarification on existing policy, and ensure the continued protection of public health and consumer confidence.
This consultation provides stakeholders with an opportunity to comment on the proposals.
It will be of most interest to councils, food businesses and industry trade bodies, and awarding bodies for environmental health professionals. Trade unions and expert groups may also have an interest.
The consultation closes at 11:59pm on Monday 19 May 2025.
