Introduction

FSS aimed to provide a guide to local authorities detailing current food and feed law applicable in Scotland. We would like to thank those that took part in the project and took the time to provide feedback to help us develop the guide in a format that was useful. However, please note:

Legislation may change over time and the advice given is based on the information available when this guide was produced. It is not necessarily comprehensive or complete and is subject to revision in the light of further information.

Only the courts can interpret statutory legislation with any authority.

This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the relevant law. Independent legal advice should be sought where appropriate.

Where external links are provided, FSS has no control over these and cannot accept responsibility for their content. Links to the legislation.gov website are not always kept up to date in real time when changes are made to legislation.

It is intended to revise this document every 3 months from the most recent publication date in the document control.

This guide applies only to Scotland. Similar legislation applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland (link to the document containing this information can be found at: http://www.food.gov.uk/enforcement/regulation/foodlaw/foodlawguide)
