Updated Food Standards Agency guidance (14.04.2021)
To support the hospitality sector during this reopening phase, the Food Standards Agency has issued refreshed guidance aimed to support food businesses prioritise food safety as well as customer and staff wellbeing, when restarting operations.
The FSA is here to help food businesses do the right thing and would encourage those across the food sector to share the following assets with their networks:
- Adapting restaurants and food delivery during COVID-19
- Reopening checklist for food businesses during COVID-19
- Changing your business model during COVID-19
The guidance is to help employers, employees and the self-employed understand how to work safely during the pandemic and how to prioritise food hygiene and food safety when reopening after a period of closure.
Food businesses can download the reopening checklist to work through the checks they should make when restarting operations, and to record progress when reviewing their processes.
As the government’s roadmap progresses towards the reopening of indoor hospitality venues and the eventual lifting of all legal limits on social contact, the above guidance will help businesses stay safe, get compliant and remain confident in being able to do the right thing.
