The Agency has launched a Safer food, better business (SFBB) supplement designed to help small caterers and staff working in care homes across the UK prepare and cook safer food for their residents.
There are about 19,000 care homes throughout Great Britain that will be covered by the scope of the supplement, this includes an estimated 8,000 homes for older people. Older people can be more vulnerable to illness, and so extra measures need to be put in place to ensure food safety is managed effectively.
The supplement is designed to be used with the main SFBB pack for caterers. It provides additional safe methods that cover specific food safety issues found in care homes, such as handling laundry, the safe storage of medicines and receiving food donated or given as gifts.
SFBB contains practical, jargon-free information to help caterers comply with food hygiene regulations. It is suitable for small residential care homes but not for nursing homes.
The supplement and the main SFBB pack for caterers can be ordered free of charge from FSA Publications. More information on how to order can be found at the link below.
