product retailers AND MANUFACTURERS ALL NEED ADEQUATE PEST CONTROL MEASURES IN PLACE

Pest control needs to be in place throughout the product chain – from the arrival and storage of raw ingredients and products, right through to waste disposal. All commercial premises will need to monitor their storage, processing areas, kitchens and equipment. Retail outlets will also have to ensure that the public-facing areas of their businesses show high standards of hygiene to inspire confidence, and maintain a credible reputation.

INADEQUATE PEST CONTROL CAN LEAD TO:

  • Contamination of raw materials
  • Loss of revenue
  • Possible fines and charges
  • Loss of trust of customers

Adequate Pest Control in restaurants and food premises is a legal requirement and is governed by various food hygiene regulations:

Regulation (EC) 178/2002 of the European Parliament

This regulation lays down the principles and requirements of food law. Article 14 of Regulation (EC) 78/2002 deals with unsafe food. It is an offence not to comply with article 14 under the General Food Regulations 2004. Food shall be deemed unsafe if it is considered to be injurious to health or unfit for human consumption.

Regulation (EC) 852/2004

These regulations lay down general hygiene requirements for all food business operators and state that:
  • The layout, design and construction of food premises are to permit good food hygiene practices including protection against contamination and in particular, pest control.
  • Adequate procedures should be in place to control pests

HaCCP – Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

According to EC Regulation No 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs, with the exception of activities at the level of primary production, food business operators are required to put in place procedures, which manage food safety within their establishment. Article 5 of the regulation requires that the procedure or procedures be based upon the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) principle.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH vISITS

Inspections are carried out by Environmental Health Inspectors from your local authority.

Inspectors will be checking that your business produces food and sells products that are safe to eat and use. This will include checkingyour premises, the kinds of products you make or prepare, how you work, and if you're a food business; your food safety management system.

The inspectors will also be checking your food descriptions and labelling to make sure they are not misleading.

Inspections can take place at any time – they may be pre-arranged routine inspections or they may be as a result of a complaint – inspectors have the right to enter and inspect commercial premises at all reasonable hours. They do not have to make an appointment and will usually come without notice.
