Food Safety (Food Hygiene)
What Does The Law Require? The briefest guide....
All businesses that handle food (including charities, etc) must ensure that
- Food is safe to eat,
- A documented “food safety management system” is used to ensure this (including records),
- Minimum requirements for premises, personal hygiene, etc. are met, and
- Staff are adequately trained.
Food safety management systems must be based on HACCP (“Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points”).
