In 2025/26 a new KPI has been introduced to show that poor performing businesses
will improve to a satisfactory standard within 3 months or enforcement action will be
initiated.
Regulatory food safety activities are reported to the FSA via half yearly returns. A
summary is shown in appendix 14. In line with FSA guidance, interventions of higher risk
food businesses in categories A and B continued to be a priority.
Regulatory health and safety activities are reported to HSE via the LAE1 report. A
summary is shown in appendix 16. Proactive enforcement interventions conducted
as part of a project are evaluated at an early stage to ensure that the project is
appropriately targeted at non-compliant businesses.

•
Conducted over 95% of the food interventions which were due or overdue in category
A to D food businesses.
•
Determined that over 90% of the food businesses inspected were broadly compliant
