Safer Food Better Business Workshop

The Food Standards Agency has developed a pack called 'Safer Food, Better Business' (SFBB) to help you comply with the law, which can be downloaded for free from the Food Standards Agency website.

The pack will save you having to produce your own system, it is jargon free and easy to use. It covers cooking, cleaning, chilling, cross contamination and management procedures. 

We run workshops that provide advice and guidance on how to correctly complete the SFBB pack. 

The cost of the course is £45 inc.VAT. 

Our sessions are in-house at the Civic Offices, Elstree Way, Borehamwood

To express your interest in this workshop please contact our training coordinators who will be able to advise further.

Delegates will need to have their SFBB pack to use during the workshop. If a new pack is needed, we can provide one for you at a cost of £10, but you will need to arrange to collect the pack from the Civic Offices in Borehamwood.
