Answer: Yes it does. Environmental Health takes part in local and national surveys when specified foods are sampled and tested for harmful bacteria, or for levels of bacteria which may not be harmful but do indicate poor handling or storage conditions. Samples are also taken to check if other harmful substances are present in food or to see if the ingredients match the label.
