Poor hygiene is bad for your business.
Fortunately, the Food Standards Agency has a range of tools that can help you manage food hygiene and keep your customers.
Free Food Safety Management Tools
The Agency wants every food business to have good hygiene standards.
It provides a range of tools, including Safer Food, Better Business, which is an innovative and practical approach to food safety management.
These free tools can help food businesses – including those just starting up – comply with food hygiene legislation.
Help from our Food Safety Officers
The Agency works in partnership with the council. Our food safety officers provide advice directly to businesses, promote the tools and help businesses implement them.

Business Awareness Posters
The awareness posters target catering businesses that supply food direct to consumers, such as restaurants, takeaways and cafés.
