Hygiene resources
The Food Standards Agency wants every food business to have good hygiene standards. We provide a range of tools, including Safer food, better business, to help food businesses – including those just starting up – comply with food hygiene legislation.
We work in partnership with local authorities, whose food safety officers provide valuable advice directly to UK businesses, promote our tools and help businesses implement them.
