As a food business, you and your staff need to have good hygiene.
Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) information packs give you information to make sure both your staff and the food you serve are safe.
A SFBB pack is made up of:
- safe methods, which follow the '4Cs' - cross contamination, cleaning, chilling and cooking, as well as management. These contain clear guidance on safe and hygienic food handling, with colour photographs showing good and bad practices
- a diary, which includes staff training records, supplier's list and cleaning schedules, as well as sheets for you to note down anything that has gone wrong
- a four-week review to look at what went wrong and what action you took to remedy the problem
Once you have completed all the safe methods, the diary should take no more than a minute a day to complete. You can combine it with existing written documentation, such as temperature records, cleaning schedules and pest control.
