Other Key Achievements
There was an increase in the number of food businesses identified as having a higher standard of food safety than is required by legislation in 2005/06 with 103 premises being awarded the Food Safety Certificate, compared with 82 in 2004/05 and 59 in 2002/03.
The number of premises awarded the Healthy Choice Award rose to 160, as opposed to 154 in 2004/05.
Food Safety promotional activities included visiting primary schools across the Borough to promote the message of the importance of handwashing. This was done in conjunction with National Food Safety Week.
Operation Germbuster was carried out across the Borough. This focussed specifically on handwashing and general standards of hygiene in take-away food premises.
A display was also set up in the Council Customer Services foyer where leaflets were distributed to the Council's residents about food safety during the Christmas period.
