Food Regulations made easy

Why buy the Guide?

You must, by law, ensure that all the foods you produce, distribute, sell or serve are safe.

It is also your responsibility to prove you are taking all the necessary steps. This is called due diligence.

To comply with the Food Hygiene and Safety laws, you should be aware of what they say. Not complying could be very expensive for you both in fines and in lost reputation.

One reviewer has said, "Not reading this Guide could be the most costly mistake a business could make".

Read more of what people say about the Guide.

95% of Food Law comes from Brussels, with guidance. Not to be outdone, the UK produces laws to bring EU law into effect and its own guidance too.

The Food Solutions Guide covers all the main areas of Food Regulation, Haccp, traceability, temperatures, and allergens amongst others.

In one place, you have easy to understand information, quotes from the Regulations and Official Guidance and explanations of what they mean.

The first edition of the guide sold out so we have reprinted.

 

  

Guide to
Understanding the Food Regulations

The food safety laws say there are things you have to do. This guide tells you why the laws are there and what they say you have to do to comply. It does not tell you how to do things as that is a skill specific to your business.

Food law covers everyone doing anything with food.

Food is anything that might be ingested by humans.

Food Business means any undertaking, whether for profit or not and whether public or private, carrying out any of the activities related to any stage of production, processing and distribution of food.

That means you.

"The EU Food Hygiene Regulations that came into force in January 2006 cover almost every aspect of food production, transport, storage and sale, and apply across the entire European Union.

As such they present a formidable, but necessary, challenge especially to small and medium sized businesses that often struggle to cut through the fog of legislative jargon. This book is written in plain English and describes the Regulations in practical terms that readers at all levels can understand.

Importantly, in two parts, it explains the Definitions and Scope (Who? and Why?) of the legislation, together with the Specific Rules (What? and How?) that food businesses need to adhere to.

In my opinion, it is a 'must' for all those involved with the hygiene of food. Well done!"

Paul Neaves, Williams and Neaves, The Food Microbiologists
