FAQS

  • Where can I find documented procedures for official controls on feeding stuffs?

    • The FSA Imported Food Control Resource pack contains a lot of useful information about the arrangements that the FSA expects to be in place.

    LACORS have done some work on authorisations for food and feed which they were commissioned to do by the FSA. This is available on the LACORS website but you will need to log in to view it.

    The protocols for the audits are available on the FSA website, as well as copies of previous reports.

  • Do vessels carrying crew but no passengers have to comply with food safety legislation?

    • Yes - the Food Safety (Ships and Aircraft) Order designated ships as food premises in line with EC requirements, therefore all food safety regulations apply to ships (and aircraft) as they do to land based premises. Where problems relating to food safety are identified by a ship inspection there is a legal basis to require improvements in food hygiene and safety. See the legislation below for further details.
  • Where can I get information on importing food?

    • The best place to start is by looking on the Food Standards Agency website or by contacting their Imported Food Helpline on 020 7276 8018. Information on importing is also available on the Business Link website. Alternatively, you can contact the port health office where you intend to import the food. Contact details for ports can be found here.
