Generally we are proud and supportive of the food businesses in Nottingham.

As you might expect of any good quality business, great effort is made by business owners and employees to meet not only the legal standards, but the industry good practice standards as well.

So when a complaint is received about a food business we respond quickly to check the reason. It can be because a new owner does not understand the law and we will give advice and guidance to help improve the business.

But sometimes a proprietor may not have taken as much care in the business as we would expect. Food workers may not have been properly trained; food may not be hygienically displayed or handled.

In these cases we will take stringent action to bring conditions back into line with legal standards, using the full weight of the law where necessary.

Our aim is to reduce the number of food business complaints and we welcome you reporting unsatisfactory matters to us.
