You need a food safety management system to keep your food safe and your business compliant.
And to prove to an EHO that you deserve a food hygiene rating of 5.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, you’re in the right place, below we explore what safer food better business is and how to use it for your business.
Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is a simple system developed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to help small to medium sized food businesses in the UK comply with food law.
It’s basically a checklist that restaurant owners can download for free with all the food hygiene checks they need to do each day. Helping food businesses:
SFBB is for a broad range of businesses, including caterers, retailers, childminders, residential care homes, and more.
The SFBB for caterers pack is for restaurants, cafes and bars that are registered with the local authority as a food business.
Download and print the government SFBB pack. The pack contains sheets for you to work through, called “safe methods”, explaining the main food safety risks and how to manage them.
And there’s a diary you need to fill in every day, noting anything different that happens, including anything that goes wrong.
The diary includes:
The manager on site needs to sign the diary every day to confirm the opening and closing checks, cleaning and safe methods have been carried out.
If something goes wrong, you need to describe what happened and what you did to fix it. EHOs will be looking for examples of this when they visit your business as part of a food safety inspection.
It’s important to note that your food hygiene checks don’t need to be kept in an SFBB diary/pack to meet EHO requirements.
Nowadays, there are quicker, simpler digital solutions that make it easier for your team to run through daily food safety checks. So you don’t need to print and trawl through hundreds of pages of SFB.
