Exova Advisory Team is uniquely qualified to give practical and commercial advice on legal issues. Our team of former Trading Standards Officers, Environmental Health Officers and Technologists ensures we are well qualified to give advice and interpretation on “due diligence”, labelling and compositional requirements.
The Advisory team can:
-
Set up real life scenarios to test your systems
-
Sit in on formal PACE interviews or informal interviews with enforcers
-
Give advice on how to respond to enforcers
Areas we have advised other manufacturers and retailers on:
-
Misleading descriptions or inaccurate labelling such as excess water or excess fat in products
-
MHRA challenge on medicinal food products
-
Retail sales of products beyond the use-by date
-
Cases involving Trading Standard test purchases of alcohol, knives, fireworks or cigarettes
-
Foreign body challenges
Often legal challenges can be dealt with informally with our guidance. This can prevent further legal action which avoids expensive court action.
Exova LawCred will test out your due diligence systems, with real life scenarios. Our LawCred due diligence audits can prepare your site for visits from trading standards and enforcement bodies. With Exova you also have the advantage of our enforcement experience and in the event of any legal action you can call on our combined expertise.
Exova offers training which will help with "due dilligence" in areas such as:
These training courses will equip your staff with the technical and legal knowledge to deal with visits from enforcers.
