Setting up a New Food Business
 |
If you have decided to open up a new food business there are some important things to think about.
You will almost certainly have engaged a solicitor to help you through the legal process of buying/leasing property. Environmental Health Officers (pdf, 102 KB) can also advise you of the general suitability of a property and the specific requirements of the hygiene Regulations.
Some things to consider include:
- Registering the food premises
- Rules about premises
- Written food safety management systems
- Food preparation areas
- Equipment
- Waste
- Food hygiene training of staff
- Suppliers and traceability of products
- Transport
- Cleaning
- Cooking
- Cross Contamination
- Chilling
- Illness
- Complaints
- Health & Safety
- Fire Safety
- Inspections
