Setting up a food bank, food aid charity or provider

Guidance for starting a charity food provider.

If your operation is classed as a food business, it needs to follow the same principles that apply to other food businesses.

This includes following rules on your:

  • premises
  • food preparation areas
  • equipment
  • food waste
  • allergen controls

If you operate in a shared building or location, you need to put in place the same measures and precautions as if it were a single-occupancy premises.
