Barnsley business prosecuted after failing to follow regulations around selling food

As part of our commitment to public safety, our Trading Standards enforcement officers visited Brothers Convenience Store on High Street, Wombwell last May.

Following their visit, they served an improvement notice to the business after finding that food packaging did not include the mandatory product information.

It’s important that any food for sale includes the right information about ingredients and allergens, helping to protect consumers from buying products which might be harmful to their health.

After failing to comply with this improvement notice, Brothers Convenience Ltd was prosecuted on Thursday 27 February for charges under the Food Safety Act 1990.

As a result of the prosecution, they were ordered to pay £9,082.66, comprising a £6,000 fine, additional costs of £1,082.66 and a victim surcharge of £2,000.
