Food Safety FAQs

Clear answers

Food safety, explained.

Practical answers to common questions about working with our food safety consultancy team. For advice specific to your premises and processes, contact us.

What can a food safety consultant help with?

Our team supports food businesses with HACCP plans and food safety management systems, independent audits, EHO inspection preparation, allergen management, staff training and practical record keeping. We tailor the support to your business, rather than relying on generic paperwork.

How can you help us prepare for an EHO inspection?

We can review your premises, working practices, documentation and staff understanding through an independent audit, then help you prioritise improvements. Our consultancy audits support your preparation; they do not replace an official local authority inspection.

Can you guarantee a five-star food hygiene rating?

No. The relevant local authority determines your rating based on the standards found at its inspection. Our role is to help you understand risks, improve controls and put effective procedures into everyday practice. Previous client results are individual outcomes.

Read the official Food Hygiene Rating Scheme guidance. Scotland operates a different food hygiene information scheme.

Do you support allergen management?

Yes. We help businesses review allergen procedures, food information, staff awareness and practical controls. The right approach depends on the foods you handle, how they are prepared and how they are sold. Explore our allergen management support.

Which businesses and areas do you work with?

We are based in London and work across the UK. Our experience includes restaurants, pubs, food producers, retailers, farms and farm shops, cold stores, transport businesses and private hospitals. Read our anonymous case studies for examples.

Do you offer remote temperature monitoring or an app?

We are trialling remote temperature monitoring for fridges and freezers and developing an app for temperature records and due diligence checks. These projects remain in trial and development. Please ask our team about their current status and suitability for your business.

How much does consultancy cost?

Fees depend on your premises, processes and the support you need. See our fees and other services page, then book a free initial consultation to discuss your priorities and a tailored quote.
