Safer Food, Better Business SFFBB

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) are no longer sending out hard copies of any Safer food, better business documents to businesses within England, all the documents are now only available from their website. These can be found by following the links below for the Diary and the Catering, Retail, Cuisine specific and Childminder packs. The FSA have developed all these in printer friendly versions so you can print them off easily.

You are also now able to type / complete the Safe Method pages online, before printing them off. The website also allows you to save your typed input whilst working your way through the pack which means you do not need to complete all the Cooking, Cleaning, Chilling, Cross-contamination and Management sections in one go. We recommend however that you print off all your completed Safe Method pages and keep a paper copy in a file in your business.

If you require a Diary refill, these are available from the website in 4 week sections. These can be printed off or saved onto your computer to complete as an electronic record. Be aware that if you keep an electronic Diary you need to save each month so that they are readily accessible to staff who are responsible for completing them. They should be easy to access on your computer and in a way that you can easily identify the date e.g. ‘Sfbb Diary 3 Safer food, better business files, including the electronic Diary are accessible for inspection by your Local Authority Food Safety Officer and whenever your food business is trading these files must be readily available on site at all times.
