Safer Food, Better Business
Safer Food, Better Business is the Food Standards Agency’s approach to ensuring that small businesses fully understand their responsibilities under the EU Food Hygiene Legislation. In the form of a series of packs and guides, the Safer Food, Better Business approach has been designed to help these small businesses create and manage food safety systems to ensure they are complying with the relevant food hygiene requirements. Due to the fact that any business involved with food has to comply with the legislation, the packs are specifically designed around a variety of different food businesses, like caterers and restaurants, as well as professions in which food service is a secondary role – childminders and care home employees, for example.
The accompanying DVD, ‘Working with Food? What you Need to Know before You Start’, helps food businesses provide food safety training to their staff and is available in sixteen different languages – making it as accessible as possible to the majority of the population. To this extent, there is no excuse for businesses, no matter how small, not to attempt to ensure they are complying with food hygiene legislation.
