A wide range of activities are being arranged across Conwy and Denbighshire to promote food safety during national Food Safety Week (June 7-11).
The main theme for the week is emphasising the importance of good food hygiene to prevent food poisoning.
Food safety officers play a crucial role in protecting public health through a balanced approach to ensuring that food is safe to ear.
This includes routine inspections of food businesses, providing free advice, guidance and coaching to food businesses, undertaking routine sampling of food products produced and sold in both counties and also taking firm enforcement action against food businesses that flout food safety laws.
