Safer Food, Better Business catering packs
It is important to make sure that your food is safe to eat. Food Safety legislation requires you to write down in simple terms what you do and what records you will keep to make sure that your food is safe to eat. It should be kept up to date and be available for officers to inspect during inspections.
If you do not have food safety management system, it will result in a low food hygiene rating.
The most widely used toolkit for caterers and retailers is the Food Standards Agency’s Safer Food, Better Business. They offer Safer Food Business packs for:
