The code is designed to supplement the FSA’s ‘Safer Food, Better Business’ advice
The Guild of Fine Food has unveiled its first-ever Deli Retailing Code of Practice, designed to supplement the Food Standards Agency’s ‘Safer Food, Better Business’ hygiene advice.
The new code was a “comprehensive guide on technical and regulatory matters designed specifically for the day-to-day needs of specialist food and drink retailers” said the guild.
Split into three main sections – Food Safety Essentials, Good Hygiene Practices and Trading Standards – the document was “intended as a one-stop reference guide for deli teams, providing the guidance to ensure that both compliance and best practice standards can be achieved in all areas of fine food retail”.
