Food Hazard Alerts

National food alerts are published by the Food Standards Agency. These alerts may relate to a particular batch of food, which is being recalled as a precautionary measure, or they may be general warnings about products available which may pose a serious threat to health and are being distributed through unknown channels.

National and local press normally carry details about food alerts on the Food Standards Agency website.

Sometimes, alerts will involve local produce and in this case, we will issue our own press release.

Notification that food does not comply with food safety requirements

Food business operators are required to notify the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and their local authority where they consider or have reason to believe that food does not comply with food safety requirements.  Notification can be completed online to the FSA and by sending a copy of the notification to environmental.health@wychavon.gov.uk or by fax to 01386 561826.

If you wish to discuss whether notification is required please contact one of our Food Safety Officers on 01905 822799.
