Diary refills

Refills for the diary are now available (SFBB for caterers only).  If you would like to order a diary refill, contact FSA publications on 0845 606 0667 or email foodstandards@ecgroup.uk.com  

You should store all your completed diary pages safely until your next visit from a local authority enforcement officer. He or she may want to look at your diary pages. During the visit, check with the enforcement officer how long he or she wants you to keep your diary pages.

Safer food, better business for different cuisines

Safer food, better business has been adapted for small catering businesses such as restaurants and takeaways that serve either Chinese cuisine or Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan cuisines.

- Chinese

The Chinese pack is also available in traditional Chinese.

- Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan

Both packs are based on Safer food, better business for caterers, but the safe methods in the Cooking section have been adapted for the appropriate cuisines. The 'Your cleaning schedule' safe method and the 'Safe method completion record' are also different in both. On this page, you can download just those safe methods that are different to SFBB for caterers.
