Food Safety and Food Hygiene.

Food hygiene regulations say that you must be able to show what you do to sell food that is safe to eat and have this written down. We at LRB Consulting can help you to comply with food hygiene regulations.

Our Food Safety consultants have considerable experience in all matters relating to Food Safety and Food Hygiene. In many cases, they are ex Environmental Health Officers and, so, are familiar with enforcement practices as well.

We work with you to develop safe methods of working that are appropriate to your business. We are happy to work with all food businesses, such as: hotels, cafes, restaurants, bistros, food manufacturers, sandwich shops, care homes, mobile food outlets, etc.

LRB Consulting provides a simple and common sense approach to developing a health and safety policy that is relevant to your business.

Food Safety Management Procedures

It is your duty to put in place food safety management procedures that are based on the principles of HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point). You must also:

keep these in place permanently
keep up-to-date documents and records relating to your procedures
review your procedures if you change what you produce or how you work

In practice, this means that you must have procedures in place to manage the food safety hazards in your business. You must write these procedures down, update them as needed and keep records such that can be checked by your local authority.

The regulations are designed to be flexible, so these procedures can be proportionate to the size of your business and the type of work you do. This means that small businesses may be able to have very simple procedures and simple records.
