Safer Food Better Business (SFBB)

Safer food, better business (SFBB) is an innovative and practical approach to food safety management. It has been developed to help small businesses put in place food safety management procedures and comply with food hygiene regulations.

There are a number of SFBB packs available which are designed to meet the specific needs of different food businesses. There are packs for small catering businesses, small retail businesses and restaurants and takeaways that serve different cuisines, such as Chinese or Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan cuisines. There is also a supplement for care homes that is designed to be used with the pack for caterers.

To accompany the SFBB packs an introduction to food hygiene 'Working with food? What you need to know before you start' and a DVD guide, available in 16 different languages, have been produced to help food businesses implement SFBB and train staff on SFBB.

The FAQs and Food Safety News contain useful information on adopting and seting up a system. The Food Standards Agency website also contains all the documents needed in a downloadable format.

Additional copies of the Diary pages can be ordered from the Food Standards Agency on 0845 606 0667 or e-mail foodstandards@ecgroup.co.uk

In Scotland a pack based on HACCP principles called cooksafe has been developed.It is a more detailed form than SFBB and may be more appropriate in some circumstances.
