The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has appointed two businesses to supply meat inspectors and official veterinarians (OVs) for future meat inspection services in England, in a move that will help to ensure that the UK maintains high standards of food safety.
The two businesses, Compass Group UK & Ireland and Sodexo UK & Ireland, were appointed following a competitive tender process. They will provide meat inspection services at slaughterhouses and cutting plants in England from 1 April 2023.
The FSA said that the appointment of these two businesses will help to ensure that the UK has a “resilient and sustainable” meat inspection service, which is essential for protecting public health.
The FSA’s Chief Operating Officer, Colin Sullivan, said: “We are pleased to have appointed Compass Group UK & Ireland and Sodexo UK & Ireland to provide meat inspection services in England. These businesses have a proven track record in providing high-quality food safety services, and we are confident that they will continue to do so in their new role.”
Compass Group UK & Ireland is a leading food and support services company, with operations in over 40 countries. Sodexo UK & Ireland is a global provider of food and facility management services, with operations in over 80 countries.

The appointment of these two businesses is part of the FSA’s wider reforms to the meat inspection service in England. These reforms are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the service, while also ensuring that it remains fit for purpose in the 21st century.
The FSA is working closely with the meat industry to implement these reforms, and is committed to ensuring that the UK continues to have a world-leading meat inspection service.
