Food Premised Registration
To store, prepare, distribute or sell food on premises you need to be registered with the Local Authority. Premises include restaurants, cafes, hotels, shops, canteens, market stalls, mobile catering vans and food delivery vans.
Some manufacturers handling products of animal origin may need to be approved by the local authority or the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland (DARD), rather than registered. If you are uncertain whether your business needs to be approved or registered, contact your Local Authority.

Consumer Complaint
We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the trader by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
