Is Your Kitchen Audit-Ready?

It’s not just about clean floors. From paperwork to staff training, these are the hidden compliance gaps that most often lead to closure orders and inspection failures.

The "Generic Folder" Trap

Using a cheap HACCP template that doesn't match your specific menu? That is an immediate red flag for EHOs and an instant fail during an audit.

Allergen Labeling Errors

Legislation has changed. One missing ingredient on your matrix isn't just a compliance issue - it’s a risk of a Closure Order or a customer lawsuit.

Inconsistent Staff Standards

Your Head Chef knows the rules, but does your weekend porter? If your team panics during a spot check, your rating is at risk.

Missing Traceability

Do you have white tubs of prepped food in the fridge without labels? If you cannot prove the batch code and shelf-life instantly, an auditor will force you to throw it in the bin.

Falsified Records

Are staff "panic-filling" the fridge logs at the end of the week? Inspectors check for handwriting patterns. Falsified records are viewed as fraud and destroy your credibility.

Structural Hygiene Gaps

You might ignore a cracked tile or a dusty vent, but an EHO cleans with a torch. Structural damage prevents proper cleaning and is a common cause for enforcement orders.

Expert Food Safety Support for Your Business

Food safety compliance is critical for protecting customers, maintaining industry standards, and avoiding costly penalties. Our tailored services help businesses implement the right policies, procedures, and training to meet their obligations with confidence.

1. HACCP Planning, Support & Audits

A well-structured HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan is essential for identifying, assessing, and controlling food safety risks. We work closely with your team to develop and implement effective HACCP systems tailored to your specific food operations. Our support extends to regular audits, ensuring your processes remain compliant, up to date, and aligned with industry regulations, reducing the risk of contamination and costly penalties.

2. Food Safety Compliance

Navigating food safety laws can be overwhelming, but failing to comply can lead to fines, business closures, and reputational damage. Our compliance services ensure your business adheres to the latest food safety standards, including hygiene practices, allergen control, temperature monitoring, and documentation. We provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you meet and maintain full compliance, keeping your customers and business protected.

3. Food Safety Training

A knowledgeable team is your first line of defense against food safety issues. Our food safety training programs cover everything from basic hygiene to advanced HACCP principles, ensuring that your staff understands proper food handling, storage, and contamination prevention. Whether you need group training, one-on-one coaching, or certification support, we tailor our programs to your industry’s needs, helping you maintain a culture of food safety excellence.

4. Food Safety Policies & Procedures

Well-documented policies are critical for maintaining consistency in food safety practices. We help businesses create and update food safety manuals, hygiene procedures, and sanitation protocols that align with industry requirements. Our tailored policies provide clear guidelines for employees, ensuring best practices are followed at all times, reducing risks, and fostering a safer working environment.
