Food Hygiene Assessment/Audit

A food hygiene and food safety risk assessment/audit provides a proactive examination of the existing site food hygiene arrangements and procedures to determine if they are adequate and compliant with current standards and best practice.

The assessment of food safety risk is an essential component of an organisation’s Food Safety Policy. The process serves to identify and control the food safety and hygiene risks that are present in premises for which the client is responsible. It is a legal requirement under Food Safety legislation for a food business to analyse food safety hazards and implement suitable controls.

What are the benefits?

A food hygiene and food safety assessment and audit provides a number of benefits including:

  • Food hygiene legislation compliance;
  • Confirmation that the food premises is meeting strict hygiene standards;
  • Verification that your food safety management procedures are sound;
  • Reduced risk of food poisoning incidences amongst customers;
  • Protection of business reputation;
  • A written, documented assessment by an independent specialist.
