Weights and Measures

As well as dealing with quality issues our food team also deals with quantity.

 

Weights and Measures Inspections

 We go into the factories where goods are packed to carry out average quantity checks to ensure correct weight.

 

We go into bakers, butchers, greengrocers and delicatessens to check that products are the right weight and the scales are up to scratch. See also our information on the use of metric and imperial weight indications.

We also check measures in pubs.
