All foods served by a food business must be safe to eat; this means that food must be fit for human consumption (cause no harm) and it must also be of the nature, quality and substance demanded. What is Food Safety?
The food hygiene and safety requirements for all food businesses are provided in Regulation (EC) 178/2002 on the general principles of food law, Regulation (EC) 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs and the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013 (and equivalent for other UK jurisdictions).
