E-Book22 chapters # UK Food Safety Compliance Handbook A UK food safety handbook: the Food Safety Act, registration and approval, HACCP, Natasha's Law, food information rules and the Windsor Framework. UK food safety law is no longer simply EU law with a British stamp on it. Since Brexit, Great Britain and Northern Ireland run on genuinely different tracks for parts of this framework, and domestic developments like Natasha's Law have moved ahead of anything the EU ever required. This book is a complete, standalone reference for UK food safety compliance — from registration and approval, through building a genuine HACCP-based food safety management system, to the full mandatory labelling framework, Natasha's Law and PPDS allergen labelling, the GB/NI split under the Windsor Framework, traceability and recall, the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, and enforcement under the Food Safety Act 1990. Written for food business owners, managers, and compliance leads, this book takes the same first-principles-to-practical approach as the companion course, organised so you can read it start to finish before opening a business, or use it as a working reference once your own compliance project is already underway. Eight appendices document the downloadable tools that accompany this material, and a full ninety-day action plan closes the book with a concrete starting sequence for your own compliance work. ## What you'll learn * Understand how the Food Standards Agency, local authorities, and Environmental Health Officers divide enforcement in the UK * Register a food business correctly, including approval requirements for higher-risk premises * Build a genuine HACCP-based food safety management system that holds up under inspection * Apply Natasha's Law correctly to prepacked-for-direct-sale (PPDS) food, including edge cases * Navigate the Windsor Framework and the Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme for GB/NI supply * Manage the 14 regulated allergens, cross-contamination controls, and staff training obligations * Run a compliant recall or withdrawal, and maintain the traceability records that make one possible * Build a genuine due diligence record that protects your business under the Food Safety Act 1990 $34.99 One-time purchase · Read in browser · No subscription * Understand how the Food Standards Agency, local authorities, and Environmental Health Officers divide enforcement in the UK * Register a food business correctly, including approval requirements for higher-risk premises * Build a genuine HACCP-based food safety management system that holds up under inspection Buy for $34.99 Secure checkout via Paddle Not what you expected?
