Bogus letter warning

Friday 19 December 2008

about us

The Agency is warning food business operators about bogus letters claiming to be from the Food Standards Agency demanding payment for supposed breaches of food safety regulations. The one letter that has been drawn to the Agency’s attention demands payment of £1,000.

A copy of the letter can be found at the link below.

The Agency is warning food business operators that if they receive any such letters claiming to be from the Agency they should not send the money and instead report the letter to their local police.

The Agency is not the national enforcement authority for food law and would not be sending any such letters demanding payment. Any breaches of food hygiene regulations would be dealt with by local authorities.
