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.

Safer food, better business
Safer food, better business (SFBB) is an innovative and practical approach to food safety management. It has been developed to help small businesses put in place food safety management procedures and comply with food hygiene regulations.
CookSafe and RetailSafe
In Scotland two packs have been produced to help businesses implement food hygiene legislation successfully. There is one pack for caterers and another for retailers.
Safe Catering
Safe Catering is FSA Northern Ireland's food safety management guide. It has been developed with help and expertise from the food industry and local authorities. This guide will help catering businesses to produce a food safety management plan based on HACCP principles and to keep records appropriate to their business.
Good hygiene practice for industry
The aim of the food industries' guides is to support effective application of the food hygiene legislation. The Agency will assess any national guide developed in accordance with the guidelines and will recognise those that it considers are suitable and practicable guides to compliance with the legislation.
