Food Inspection and Sampling
An annual food and water-sampling programme is carried out to
ensure that microbiological, chemical and compositional standards
are met, including nationally co-ordinated surveys.
The Food Sampling Programme details the various elements of the
sampling undertaken by the Division. The Programme includes
national surveys co-ordinated by LACORS
(Local Authority Co-ordinating Body for Regulatory Services) and
PHLS
(Public Health Laboratory Service) and may include some requested
by the Food Standards Agency.
