Many different types of businesses are subject to food hygiene and safety laws. Failure to comply with food safety legislation is a serious matter and can result in criminal investigation and prosecution, with heavy fines or imprisonment.
Trading Standards, Environmental Health and Local Authorities have wide powers to investigate and prosecute food businesses failing to comply with the Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006. Food businesses are subject to regular inspections for non-compliance or failures to meet food hygiene and safety standards.

• Hygiene emergency prohibition orders
