Figures published by the FSA show that whereas there was an increase in food hygiene interventions by local authorities in 2016/17 because of an increase in hygiene complaints, planned food standards interventions, which include authenticity and fraud, were down 4% on previous years. The FSA will use this enforcement data, along with other intelligence, to identify and target underperforming local authorities in order to secure improvements or tackle any particular problems they may have.
