Listen to this siteThis section contains resources, including Safer food, better business, to help food businesses, and those just starting up, comply with food hygiene legislation.
Safer food, better business (SFBB) is an innovative and practical approach to food safety management. It has been developed to help small businesses put in place food safety management procedures and comply with food hygiene regulations.
In Scotland two packs have been produced to help businesses implement food hygiene legislation successfully. There is one pack for caterers and another for retailers.
Safe Catering is FSA Northern Ireland's food safety management guide. It has been developed with help and expertise from the food industry and local authorities. This guide will help catering businesses to produce a food safety management plan based on HACCP principles and to keep records appropriate to their business.
The aim of the food industries' guides is to support effective application of the food hygiene legislation. The Agency will assess any national guide developed in accordance with the guidelines and will recognise those that it considers are suitable and practicable guides to compliance with the legislation.
New food hygiene laws have applied in the UK since 1 January 2006 and before they came into effect the Agency worked to prepare UK food businesses. The legislation makes it a legal requirement for all food businesses (except primary producers) to put in place, implement and maintain a permanent procedure or procedures based on food safety management (HACCP) principles.
