Understanding Food Hygiene and Food Safety Regulations
Introduction
About the book
Food is produced to the same rules Europe-wide - the European Community Food Hygiene regulations which came into force in 2006.
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. YOU - the ‘food business operator’ are legally responsible for ensuring that you understand your responsibilities under the law and produce safe food.
You must ensure your business complies with all the relevant legislation. Under the law, lack of knowledge is no defence.
'Understanding Food Hygiene and Safety Regulations’ sets out what is required of you in clear and simple language, and is essential reading for any food business operator.
