Food safety + HACCP

Food Safety can be a tricky business, as a food business operator reducing the risk of producing unsafe food to an acceptable level should be just as important as quality, service and profit margin. It is essential that all food businesses have a Food Safety Management System based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point or HACCP we can provide you with the relevant documents and train your staff on how to complete the associated records.

The public are increasingly checking the Food Hygiene Rating Score of a premises before they visit, we can help you achieve a great rating or, if you have unfairly been given a low score, help you appeal and get you business rescored. Check you businesses rating here: http://ratings.food.gov.uk/

With new allergen legislation coming into force at the end of 2014 it is important that your business is compliant as Local Authorities have already taken action against some of the big guys such as Jamie Oliver and more court cases are expected when the new legislation comes into force.

In our time we have issued many food hygiene improvement and prohibition notices and we know that receiving them can be extremely worrying, we can help your business get food safety right or appeal a notice if it has been served for an unjust reason.

We also provide competitively priced staff and management training on all aspects of food safety through our CIEH registered centre, produce the accompanying documents such as FSMS (Food safety Management Systems) as well as help you defend you and your business in court should the worst happen. We find that many businesses could have evidenced a due diligence defence but were not aware of how this should be produced.

If you are a new business or a business expanding it’s product lines then you may need to carry out shelf life testing or validate your HACCP plan. We can work with you to produce custom HACCP plans, carry out micro-biological, chemical or shelf life testing at UKAS accredited laboratories.

We cover all aspects of of food safety management systems including biltong HACCP, pie production HACCP, sous vide HACCP + catering HACCP.
