Food production and hygiene
We regulate all food businesses in Wirral. Food businesses must be registered with us before they can prepare and sell food for public consumption.
We inspect food businesses regularly to make sure that they meet the hygiene standards outlined in the food safety legislation. We also test water supplies and products from food outlets across Wirral, to check they don't contain unsafe levels of bacteria or other microbes.
We also promote awareness of food hygiene and safety in the food industry. We offer information and advice to businesses on all aspects of food hygiene, including practical guidance on how to make sure food businesses meet the legal requirements.
