Food Safety Audits
Why have a third-party auditor?
It is easy to become ‘blinkered’ when you are passionate about and ‘live and breathe’ your food business 24 hours a day. A fresh pair of eyes can help you really see where there are problems and where things are going wrong.
Audits can help prevent issues escalating which could affect your Food Hygiene Rating and may mean your customers get sick or worse.
Food Safety Audits:
- Are based on the risks in your business
- Are tailored to your food operation
- Give a comparable Food Hygiene Rating Score if your food business is included in the scheme
- Highlight any problems and action to take
- Make recommendations in line with Best Practice/Guidance
- Take into account industry updates/legislation such as Natasha's Law and the new Calorie Regulations
- Are undertaken at a frequency to suit your business - usually quarterly
The Food Safety Logic Health Check
This initial short food hygiene audit will give you a snapshot of the current standards in your business . It will highlight current issues and problems at the time of the audit which may be causing you frustration and worry. I will give you practical solutions and recommendations to help you address these problems and move forward.
You will be given a comparable Food Hygiene Rating Score (unless exempt) to help you understand what you can reasonably expect in your next official food hygiene inspection from your local food inspector. A very good or 5 star rating lets your customers know that you are doing things right and give them assurance that they can eat safely with you.
This is also a great opportunity to draw attention to good practice and what you are doing right. It can also show you alternative ways of working which could benefit your business and save you money.
If you have recently been given a poor hygiene rating then the Food Safety Logic Health Check will help to get you back on track!
