| SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR "DUE DILIGENCE"
NEEDS |
| In modern food manufacture and retailing it is quite
impossible, no matter how well managed a company may be, to ensure
that there will never be a defective product sold to the public. |
| As such The Food Safety Act 1990 does not require that
there shall be perfection in food sales to the public. It does however,
make it unlawful to sell defective food in circumstances where the
trader cannot, or does not prove that he has taken "all reasonable
precautions and exercised all due diligence". |
| THERE MUST BE PROOF OF "DUE DILIGENCE" |
| THE BURDEN OF PROOF LIES WITH THE DEFENDANT |
| In all cases Premier Analytical Services can provide the entire range
of specialist services that you require. |
