Protecting you
The Council is responsible for enforcing National and European
Union food legislation in all food businesses operating within
Cheshire West and Chester. We aim to ensure that all food produced
and sold in the area is safe for human consumption and that
all cases of food poisoning are investigated thoroughly to prevent
spread and recurrence.
The Section does not enforce the food legislation specific to
slaughterhouses and approved cold stores, this is the
responsibility of the Meat Hygiene
Service.
Trading Standards

consumers and traders, relating to the supply of goods and
services. They investigate complaints and test the safety, quantity
and quality of goods. Visit the Trading Standards pages.
