Details
The Focus on Enforcement project asks the public to help identify where regulation can be improved, reduced or done differently.
This paper examines the effect of regulation imposed on a representative mix of businesses in the small food manufacturing sector:
- small breweries
- cider makers
- carbonated mineral water producers
- bakers
- meat products manufacturers
- pork butcher
- cheese makers and confectioners
The report identifies a number of areas where unnecessary burdens have been imposed on business, and provides examples of good practice. In particular it looks at:
- food hygiene (enforced by District Councils and Unitary Authorities)
- composition and labelling (enforced by County Councils or Unitary Authorities)
