Changes to food business approval process

30 August 2011

The Food Standards Agency has informed food business operators (FBOs) and relevant groups about changes to the approval process for establishments that require approval under European Union food hygiene legislation. This follows a High Court judgement and Judicial Review, which has established that premises that have changed FBO since January 2006, and those that do so in future, require a new approval in order to operate.

More on the judgement and review can be found on this FSA press release: http://www.food.gov.uk/news/newsarchive/2011/aug/fboapproval
