Food Hygiene and Food Safety Regulations - Why?

Food Hygiene and Food Safety Regulations are necessary. If you learn to drive, you take lessons and refer to the Highway code to learn the rules.

Working with food and drink, you learn the skills of preparation, cooking, handling, serving and selling. You also need to know the rules.

Food regulations cover any business of any size that is involved in the producing, processing, transporting, selling or giving away anything edible – whether at a charity event or in a supermarket. It is you - the ‘food business operator’ who is legally responsible for ensuring that you understand your responsibilities under the law.

Your responsibility

Understanding what the rules mean can be difficult, but it is YOUR responsibility to supply safe products to your customers. You must also be able to prove you are taking all reasonable precautions if you are asked by your Local Council. This is your defence if something goes wrong - due diligence.
