Enforcement Policies

The enforcement of food law within Aberdeenshire falls under the responsibility of the Environmental Health Service and is undertaken by Environmental Health Officers and Authorised Officers.

The planning and delivery of food law enforcement activities needs to comply with the Food Law Enforcement Standard contained in the Framework Agreement on Local Authority Food Law Enforcement and with the Food Law Code of Practice (Scotland).

In accordance with these requirements a set of service standards and documented policies and procedures in respect of food law enforcement activities have been developed and implemented and the latest versions are available to read or to download by clicking the link below.
