Food

We deal with a number of food related issues in North Somerset.

Our priority is to make sure that any produce you buy and eat across the district is fit for consumption.

This means that we have a duty to make sure all food businesses work within national health and safety guidelines and prepare and serve food in the right conditions.

We carry out this responsibility through our Food and Safety team which routinely inspects more than 2000 establishments to enforce these rules. The results are used to give each establishment a Foodscore.

We support the Food Standard Agency's (FSA) campaign to avoid food poisoning from listeria.

We also help promote local produce through the production of a local food directory.
