Frequently Asked Questions
Who specifically is the CookSafe Food Safety Assurance System designed for?
CookSafe is specifically designed for all catering businesses operating in Scotland. It provides a complete HACCP-based food safety management system, tailored to help Scottish caterers comply with local food hygiene regulations. This includes restaurants, cafes, takeaways, hotels, and other food service providers across Scotland.
What makes CookSafe different from food safety guides for other UK regions?
CookSafe is uniquely tailored to the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006, published by Food Standards Scotland. This differentiates it from systems designed for other UK regions, such as England or Wales, which operate under different specific legislative frameworks and guidance from their respective food safety authorities.
Does CookSafe satisfy a specific legal requirement for my catering business in Scotland?
Yes, CookSafe provides a complete HACCP-based food safety management system, which is a legal requirement for all food businesses under the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Implementing this system helps your catering business demonstrate due diligence and comply with Scottish food safety legislation effectively.
Is this the current edition of CookSafe, and what happens when it changes?
This product is the current edition of the CookSafe Food Safety Assurance System, as published by Food Standards Scotland. When regulatory changes necessitate an update, Food Standards Scotland will publish a revised edition. Businesses are then responsible for acquiring and implementing the latest version to maintain compliance.
What would my business do with CookSafe if I bought it?
Upon purchase, your business would use CookSafe to establish and maintain a robust food safety management system. You'd implement its HACCP principles by identifying hazards, setting critical control points, and using the monitoring procedures and record-keeping templates to demonstrate ongoing compliance with Scottish food hygiene regulations.

Can I get help implementing this?
Absolutely! Our consultants can help you implement this food safety system in your business.View our consulting services.
Do I legally need a food safety management system?
UK food law requires every food business to have a documented, HACCP-based food safety management system in place. An official pack like this is one recognised way to meet that, not the only one. You can build your own, but a ready-made pack gives you a structure EHOs know and expect.Get help putting one in place.
Which pack should I choose?
Start with your trade. Butchers and meat retailers use ButcherSafe; shops and food retailers use Safer Food, Better Business for Retailers; registered childminders use the SFBB childminders pack. Caterers, restaurants and cafes can use CookSafe, Safe Catering, the Industry Guide or the FSA's Safer Food, Better Business pack, with versions tailored to Chinese and South Asian cuisines. They all cover the same HACCP essentials, so pick the one you prefer or the one your EHO recommends, and you can buy and use any pack anywhere in the UK.
Can I use this anywhere in the UK?
Yes. All our packs are built on the same HACCP principles and are used by food businesses across the UK. The region shown reflects the authority that publishes each pack; it is not a restriction. Some EHOs even recommend a particular pack whatever your nation, for example a butcher in England using ButcherSafe, or an officer in Wales recommending the Scottish CookSafe pack.
