All are investigated with a view to further formal action if deemed appropriate. Approximately 260 - 300 individual cases are notified to the service every year. In an average year roughly 1% of these would be defined as outbreaks. In all cases implicating known food hazards the standards contained in the document ‘Food Handlers - Fitness to Work’ are observed.
