About Food Solutions

Food Solutions Publishing Limited was set up about 2 years ago. Bob, John, Ian and Jane have all been involved with small business for many years.

Our team is supported by many in the food industry who offer technical advice and by our agents.

Food Solutions aims to keep those involved with food and drink up to date with legislation from Europe and the UK. Some 95% of legislation now comes from Brussels.

Keeping up to date with current laws and those which are "in the pipeline" as well as knowing which regulations apply to you can be daunting. If you do not, it could jeopardise your business.

We produce regular publications, written in plain English, flagging up new legislation and explaining and clarifying, where necessary, existing laws.

Our Annual Guide to the Food Safety and Hygiene Regulations, also in plain English, covers all the main food regulations. We quote the relevant parts of the Regulations and also the Official Guidance. Explanations and a glossary are provided.
