Cardiff Council’s Public Protection Team in partnership with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in Wales presented Food Hygiene and Healthy Options Awards to food businesses at a ceremony in City Hall.
The awards were presented by Sean Hannaby, Chief Strategic Planning and Environment Officer and Delyth Murray-Lines from the FSA. Each business was presented with a certificate to display on their premises. This will demonstrate to customers a good standard of food hygiene and enhances business reputation.
The ceremony included premises who have received a Silver Food Hygiene Award between 1st November – 31st April 2010 and food businesses that have achieved a Gold, Silver or Bronze Healthy Options Award.
Councillor Bridges, Chair of Cardiff’s Public Protection Committee, said: “Cardiff Council is always eager to promote the very highest hygiene standards in food premises and we are keen to promote healthy options for those choosing to eat out. To win these accolades, premises must pass a rigorous inspection and demonstrate their commitment to high standards. Congratulations to all the winners.”
Delyth Murray- Lines of the FSA, said: “Over recent years the public have become increasingly aware of the importance of good standards of hygiene in food businesses. It is a pleasure to see so many businesses achieving an award for the efforts that they have made to implement the excellent standards of food hygiene recognised by these Food Hygiene Awards”.
