The bogus letter accuses retailers of having sold food unfit for human consumption on at least six occasions.
It then demands a penalty charge of £1,000 to be paid to a fictitious solicitor, ‘E SENA and Co’.
The FSA is advising businesses to ignore the demands and report the letters to the police. A spokesman said: “The FSA is not the national enforcement authority for food law and would not be sending any such letters demanding payment.”
