A City of York Council report states about 300 food hygiene inspections were missed due to Covid.
During the pandemic, the FSA advised the council to prioritise higher risk food businesses.the council states: "As a result of the coronavirus pandemic and current economic situation, we have already seen an increased turnover of business ownership in the restaurant and catering food sector, and anticipate that this will continue in the year ahead.
"This 'business churn' places a strain on the team's resources due to the requirement to undertake inspections of these new premises."The problem is not unique to York and the council is following a plan to address the issue and is said to be making "good progress", according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The FSA's Covid recovery plan is being used to help prioritise the service to deal with the greatest risks to public health and safety.Follow BBC Yorkshire on
