Gibraltar: matinspeksjoner

Gibraltar is not the UK: the app follows the Food and Drugs Act 1964, the Food Hygiene Regulations 1977 and retained EU hygiene rules, the Environmental Agency inspects, and there is no public rating.

Inspeksjonsorgan

Environmental Agency (Chief Environmental Health Officer), Gibraltar

The Environmental Agency, under the Chief Environmental Health Officer, inspects food premises (Food and Drugs Act 1964, s. 15). Inspections are risk-based. No fixed time between visits is published.

After a visit the officer can give advice, in words or in writing. Unfit food can be seized before a magistrate (Act, s. 10). A court can bar a caterer from the trade for up to 2 years (Act, s. 14). A fine on summary conviction is up to £1,000 per offence. On indictment it is a fine or up to 2 years in prison (Regulations 1977, reg. 53). Using unregistered premises is a separate offence (Act, s. 15(2)).
