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”.
World Cheese Awards set to return to Spain The Guild of Fine Food has announced the World Cheese Awards will be held in the Spanish Principality of Asturias this year, taking place in Oviedo on November 3.
Having extended Oviedo’s tenure as World Cheese Capital following the event’s postponement as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 33rd edition of the competition will now form part of the Asturias Paraíso Natural International Cheese Festival 2021, run by the Instituto del Queso, in partnership with the Principality of Asturias and the City Council of Oviedo.
The World Cheese Awards will be at the heart of a four-day festival from November 3 to 6, dedicated to cheese, staged at Oviedo’s Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos (PEC).

Small cheese exporters are among those worse affected by the new border regime
Brexit could cost Britain its premium food reputation and return global perceptions of the industry to those of the 1980s, the Guild of Fine Food has warned.
Post-Brexit border frictions have proved particularly troublesome for smaller businesses who are struggling to find the resource to deal with the new processes. Some plan to stop supplying Europe altogether.
John Farrand, owner of the Guild of Fine Food, said European customers might consequently not get to taste some of the artisan British products that helped craft a ‘halo effect’ over the entire British food and drink during recent decades.
