Consulting Services
In addition to training (see our training page) here at Thinking Food Safety we can offer a number of other services which will help you manage food safety, to satisfy legal requirements.
HACCP MANAGEMENT
We can implement a HACCP based food management system and keep this up to date as required by The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006, tailored to your business requirements. A HACCP based system dosn't have to be complex. We can evaluate your business needs and implement a system which will work for you. We have also developed business specific templates for very small & start-up businesses to use. Click here for more info on these systems.
POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND FORMS
Pre-requisite policies are important for putting a HACCP system into practice. Our service includes ensuring the correct procedures are in place. From Temperature records to personal hygiene policy. Writting up policies specific to your business. Design of logs and forms to work along side your operational procedures.
AUDITING
An adequacy audit will identify what is required to fullfill the requirements of an effective food safety management system which you can then choose if you wish us to implement or simply give you the guidance on implementing yourselves.
Having a system in place is the beginning. Regular compliance auditing is important to ensure your employees are following and adhering to the system. A poor EHO inspection can result in bad publicity, costly resolve, and even closure. To ensure your customer safety, we can audit your premises on a regular basis to allow early identification and resolve of potential problems.
Should the unfortunate happen and you end up in court, due dilligence is the key to any defence. Have you done all you reasonably can to ensure food safety standards.
MYSTERY SHOP VISITS
With a strong retail and leisure background we can combine food safety checks with customer service auditing by way of mystery shop visits and merchandising standards auditing. Killing two birds with one stone, helping save money and helping you make money.
