Food Sampling Policy. Microbiological food sampling makes an important contribution in protecting the general public and discharging the Councils responsibility in food law enforcement. Microbiological food sampling is used as part of a planned approach to gather information about the microbiological quality, and possible presence of harmful microorganisms, in particular foods which are produced and/or sold locally. Based on this information appropriate action can be taken to protect the consumers. The councils are committed to providing the resources necessary to carry out a sampling programme. Environmental Health Officers are responsible for undertaking the food sampling functions. The councils have a food sampling programme for microbiological purposes. The food sampling is prioritised to concentrate upon one or more of the following criteria: • foods which are produced within the Councils’ districts; • the risk ratings of the premises; and • any local, regional or national coordinated sampling surveys or programmes. The majority of food samples, including hygiene swabs, are taken informally, for the purpose of monitoring, surveillance and intelligence gathering. Formal samples will be taken where enforcement action is anticipated and these samples will be taken in full compliance with the legislation, relevant Code of Practice and consideration of the Councils’ Compliance and Enforcement Policy. Official laboratories as designated by the FSA will be used for samples obtained during the sampling programme. For West Suffolk Councils the designated laboratory is the Public Health England Laboratory at Collindale, London. Other samples will be sent to the Council’s Public Analyst, Public Analyst Scientific Services Limited. Samples will be recorded using the Northgate M3 database. The FSA’s UK Food Surveillance system (UKFSS) may be used to record samples in the future. Samples may be taken during manufacturing/production processes for the purposes of ensuring food safety and establishing the effectiveness of the critical controls in the process. The manufacturer will be notified of the result of any such sample analysis or examination. The Councils do not currently act as a Home Authority or Primary Authority for any food business. Where sampling identifies a problem with food manufactured outside the districts, the relevant primary, home or originating authority will be notified and a copy of the certificate of analysis or examination will be forwarded to them.
