Code of Practice for Northern Ireland

The current Code of Practice for Northern Ireland came into force on the 11th April 2012. The Code was revised to reflect developments in policy in respect of the delivery of Official Controls for food.
The key changes relate to the embedding of the recommendations from the Public Inquiry following the E.Coli O157outbreak in South Wales in 2005, extension of the use of remedial action notices to non-approved establishments and changes to the qualification requirements for officers to seize and detain food.
