Food businesses can now find guidance and advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in one easy-to-access online hub.
The new hub brings together guidance on how to set up a food business, how to achieve a good food hygiene rating and manage allergens to keep customers safe. Businesses can also find new case studies on the FSA blog, telling real stories about how working with your local authority and the FSA helps get your business off the ground and grow safely and successfully.
Katie Pettifer, Director of Strategy and Regulatory Compliance at the Food Standards Agency said: “At a time when new food businesses are facing cost pressures and other challenges, the FSA and local authorities want to make it easier for businesses to do the right thing. Our new online hub has gathered the advice and guidance that any new food business needs to make a success of running a compliant and safe business.”
The FSA will also be publishing case studies from Environmental Health Practitioners across England and Wales, sharing why they do their job and what they’re looking for when they inspect businesses.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is the independent government department working to protect public health and consumers’ wider interests in relation to food in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The FSA’s role does not just cover food safety, but also other consumer interests in food, which include price, availability, and some aspects of food production standards like environmental concerns and animal welfare. Ensuring food you can trust is central to the FSA mission.
