How we help UK food businesses deliver food safety that protects their licence, wins contracts and earns top Food Hygiene Ratings.
Case study
Victoria, London — A high-end patisserie in Victoria already holding a Food Hygiene Rating of 4 engaged Kitchen Tonic to push for the top rating. A full audit and prioritised action plan strengthened contractor hygiene controls, the FSMS, product specifications and traceability, and the business is now preparing for a paid reinspection with our support.
Case study

Through a full audit, corrective actions including a blast chiller, a refreshed FSMS and an updated allergen matrix, plus ongoing monthly audits, the business is set up to sustain its top rating.
Case study
Mayfair, London — A high-end all-day eatery in Mayfair relocating to a new nearby site needed a fully refreshed, site-specific Food Safety Management System to trade compliantly from day one.
