Certain legislation lays legal obligations on proprietors of food businesses to ensure that the food and drink they store, produce and sell is safe and conforms to the current safety standards. This requirement is now stipulated in the Regulation (EC) 852/2004 and the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006, which came into force in January 2006. Ensuring ongoing control of certain food safety risks, they also state that food business operators must have a documented food safety management system in place.
Every year, 5.5 million people in England and Wales suffer from food-related illnesses by consuming food or water that has been contaminated by micro-organisms or toxins, such as; salmonella, campylobacter, listeria and e.coli. This type of contamination usually occurs as a result of the poor understanding of food safety and poor hygiene practices.
We are here to help design and plan out the mind and body of your food business in order to ensure optimum food hygiene and safety. This service is typically amalgamated in the following framework:
- Initial visit and review
- Food safety policy and organisation
- Planning and implementation (E.g. Hazard Analysis and HACCP)
- Evaluation
- Interim review
- Maintenance
In order to create an effective food safety management system, there are many things which must be considered. For example, to ensure that the food you sell to consumers is safe and of a good standard, attention must be paid to certain areas such as cross contamination, cleaning, chilling, cooking and the preparation of food.
Because our services are designed to work around your particular business and its’ unique requirements, we will work as a team to build a good network of knowledge and understanding of food safety and current legislation. Our services include the provision of food safety and food hygiene training at various levels with certification and presentations.
“SDEnvironmental has provided a valuable service for our business. I can now rest in the thought that we are working together towards strengthening our management of food safety”
