The Cabinet Member:
1) approved the appointment of Public Analysts and Agricultural Analysts, as required by the Food Safety Act 1990 and The Animal Feed (Hygiene, Sampling etc. and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2015 (as amended); and
2) approved that such future amendments and approval of analysts are delegated to the Executive Director - Place through the Place Department Scheme of Delegation.
Approval was recommended such that the Council could comply with relevant statutory duties relating Food and Feed sampling and enforcement, and that future delegation would reduce administrative burdens.
Do nothing – This would present a risk to the Authority in failing to comply with regulatory laws and guidance and may prejudice any formal actions by the Council (via the Trading Standards service) based on sampling and analysis.
