We're looking forward to testing them, we've seen some 'interesting' ones so far! #COVID19
We are out sampling hand sanitisers that will be submitted to our Public Analyst for safety testing. This is to make sure: 1. you are getting what you pay for 2. It’s a safe product 3. to support legitimate businesses that work hard to comply with safety legislation #COVID19

We have been testing some of these products for local authorities to see how much alcohol they contain, some have no labelling at all. #handsanitizer #COVID19
To help you to buy safe hand sanitiser choose one that is labelled in English and lists the name and address of the manufacturer or importer, ingredients, batch number and directions for use #StaySafeBeKind ^LJ

Testing pies to make sure they contain enough filling is one of the many jobs public analysts do...but Butter Pie is not one we've had in for testing recently, how much butter should it contain?!
This is the official Food Standards Agency tier list of British Pies. It’s based on extensive research and in no way a quick staff poll celebrating #BritishPieWeek

ERgh, this is a (NOT) tasty #foodfraud! Man in Taiwan sentenced to prison: he purchased lard and oil unfit for human consumption from leather goods factories, restaurant grease traps, hog feed producers and other sources, processed it and sold it as 'cooking oil products'.🤢

A lucky escape! Good to have been involved in the peanut testing of the samples in this case, one of many ongoing unfortunately. #publicanalyst #foodsafety #foodfraud #allergen
Customer with #peanut allergy needed hospital treatment after allergic reaction. They had called takeaway to tell them of their allergy before ordering food by delivery app. Case involved Public Analyst #allergen ow.ly/2wjz30qhSym
