Food standards
The law says anybody selling or supplying food or drink must ensure that the food meets a set of standards including:
- labelling
- allergens
- ingredients
- best before and use by dates
- traceability.
Anyone selling or supplying food might also need a food hygiene registration with Environmental Health.
