Frequently Asked Questions
What if I find a problem during an opening check?
Record it in your food safety diary, say what you did to fix it, and tell the manager. For example, if the fridge is above temperature, move food to another fridge and have the broken one serviced.
Can I use the checklist with a dry-wipe marker?
Yes, the 250-micron laminated surface is wipe-clean. Use a dry-wipe marker to tick tasks, then wipe clean at the end of the week or month to reuse the chart.
Who should sign the checklist?
The person who performs the checks should initial each day. This creates a record that daily checks are being done and helps identify who found any problems.

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.
