Why the authority matters
Approval under Regulation (EC) 853/2004 is granted and withdrawn by a competent authority — usually the local council, and for some categories the Food Standards Agency itself. It is the authority named here that you contact about this establishment's approval, not the FSA's national enquiry line.
