Safer Food Better Business

Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is a new initiative by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to improve food safety standards. It is a food safety management system, designed to help catering businesses comply with food safety legislation that came into force on 1 January 2006.

SFBB offers jargon free, easy to use practical guidance for catering businesses. It provides fact-sheets, which a manager can adapt to their own businesses.

A simple diary is used to provide appropriate record keeping. The approach has been developed to allow businesses to manage food safety and protect consumers.

It is recognised that small businesses (particularly in the catering sector) will need assistance to comply with this new legislation. Many businesses will require further guidance to explain how they might comply with this new legislation.

New legislation, came into force in the UK on the 1 January 2006, called the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006, and Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 on the Hygiene of Food Stuffs, that requires food businesses to implement a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP.

For the first time, it shall be a legal requirement for food businesses to document and verify their food safety management system.
