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.
