Making sure our food is safe is
essential to prevent serious illness and poisoning from organisms such
as E.coli. Every year over a million cases of food poisoning
occur nationally and at least two people die each week as a
result. Over 20,000 people a year are hospitalised as a result of food
poisoning.
Our Environmental Health Officers educate and take enforcement action in Rotherham's 2000+ food businesses to help ensure the food is safe to eat.
