Food Safety Consultancy Services

Are you producing food safely?

Many companies are concerned that mistakes with food safety could lead to food poisoning, resulting in compensation claims, legal action and adverse publicity.

Food businesses need to be able to demonstrate “due diligence”. This is a legal term within food safety and simply means that a business must be able to show that it has taken all reasonable steps to avoid committing a food safety offence. If this can be achieved on an ongoing basis, it gives business owners and managers peace of mind.

In January 2006, the industry saw sweeping changes to food safety legislation, in particular, the requirement for a documented food safety management system was introduced. Achieving a robust food safety management system is vital to any successful food business.

MTACS can help you avoid costly mistakes by assisting in the development of sensible and manageable documented systems for food safety. Quality food safety training for food handlers is also vital and something that MTACS can provide. Please see our training link for further details.

For very small businesses, the Government (Food Standards Agency) have produced food safety packs entitled “Safer Food Better Business”. MTACS can help you source these packs, complete the documentation and integrate the system into your daily routine.
