1. Food safety management system

All food businesses must produce food that is safe to eat, be able to demonstrate how they do this and keep a written record. A food safety management system is a way of recording this information.

Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is a simple system developed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to help small to medium sized food businesses in the UK comply with food law.

You can develop your own system and there are various online tools to help you do this. MyHACCP is a free web tool to help guide you through the process of developing a food safety management system.
