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.
There are a number of SFBB packs available which are designed to meet the specific needs of different food businesses. There are packs for small catering businesses, small retail businesses and restaurants and takeaways that serve different cuisines, such as Chinese or Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan cuisines. There is also a supplement for care homes that is designed to be used with the pack for caterers.
To accompany the SFBB packs an introduction to food hygiene 'Working with food? What you need to know before you start' and a DVD guide, available in 16 different languages, have been produced to help food businesses implement SFBB and train staff on SFBB. The guide can be viewed online at food.gov.uk/sfbbtraining or you can download a copy to your computer.
If you would like to order an SFBB pack or the DVD guide call Food Standards Agency Publications on 0845 606 0667 or email foodstandards@ecgroup.co.uk .

A Safer food, better business (SFBB) supplement has been produced to help caterers and staff working in small residential care homes prepare and cook safer food for their residents. The supplement is not intended for use in nursing homes, because there may be other food safety procedures that need to be applied, which are not covered by SFBB, for example a full infection control policy.
Safer food, better business has been adapted for small catering businesses such as restaurants and takeaways that serve either Chinese cuisine or Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan cuisines.
Safer food, better business for Chinese cuisine is available in Traditional Chinese and there are Welsh translations of SFFB for caterers, SFBB for retailers and the SFBB for care homes supplement.
In 2007, as part of the evaluation of the Safer food, better business (SFBB) programme, the Agency commissioned independent market research into the impact of food safety management systems (FSMS) on businesses.
