Managing food safety
Food hygiene regulations require you to have a written food safety management system. You must be able to show what you do to make or sell food that is safe to eat and have this written down.
Managing food safety - Safer Food, Better Business
To help small businesses manage food safety easily, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has developed Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) packs.
You can download full packs or replacement pages in PDF format online, or view the packs section-by-section. You will find packs for caterers, retailers, childminders and a supplement for residential care homes. There are also information packs for Indian and Chinese cuisine.
Your food hygiene inspection
Our officers will ask to see your written food safety management system during your inspection and the quality of this will contribute to your food hygiene rating. Visit our Food hygiene inspections webpage to find out more.
