Cash boost to local food hygiene schemes

Friday 21 March 2003

Ten local authorities have been awarded £10,000 each by the Food Standards Agency to support their food hygiene initiatives. The awards were made after the Agency invited local authorities to come up with ideas for getting key food hygiene messages across to their local communities.

Some of the successful schemes aim to improve hygiene education within local schools where the money will be used to produce teaching packs, CDs, videos and hygiene testing kits.

Other winning applications focus on improving training and support for caterers on food hygiene issues.

The cash awards are part of the Agency's 'Food Hygiene Campaign' that was launched in February 2002 and aims to reduce foodborne illness by 20% by 2006.
