Questions
Yes. Every food business needs a food safety management system that meets HACCP principles: a written set of processes, checks, rules and records covering things like cleaning, safe cooking and storage, allergen controls, staff training and temperature checks.
SFBB is the Food Standards Agency's set of food safety management packs for small businesses in England and Wales. There are packs for caterers, retailers, Indian and Chinese cuisine, childminders and care homes, and you can download a full pack or single sections.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland you must register with your local council at least 28 days before you start trading. Registration is separate from your food safety system, and the council may inspect after you open.
