What's the law around FOG?
FOG blockages can result in flooding on your premises, costly repairs, and potential closure while the blockage is dealt with.
Not only this, but you could also risk prosecution if your business disposes of FOG carelessly.
Businesses are required by law to make sure their waste does not block or damage the sewer network, under Section 111 of the Water Industry Act 1991.
The Building Regulations (page 14) also state that FSEs (Food Service Establishments) should have a grease separator fitted to drains serving kitchens, or other effective means of removing grease.
