New guidance for VCSE Groups supporting food supplies

As food costs continue to rise the current cost of living crisis is causing consumers to look for alternative food supplies. Volunteers and charitable organisations are increasingly looking for ways to provide essential food supplies to those who are most vulnerable.

In response to this, Devon, Torbay and Plymouth Councils commissioned advice from Heart of the South West Trading Standards to offer guidance to help you ensure that the food you supply is safe to eat and meets the necessary legal requirements.
