Food safety inspections

Food Safety inspections

Barnet Council's team of Environmental Health Officers and Food Safety Officers has the right to enter and inspect any food premises and any food found on that premises at all reasonable hours. Our aim is to protect the public from any health risk associated with the food they eat.

We do not have to make appointments and will visit businesses on a programmed basis or because we have received a complaint. The frequency of our inspections will generally depend on potential food safety risks and how effectively they are controlled.
