Ensuring exceptional levels of food safety management are a critical part of operations within all food and beverage businesses. Whether you are an established business or just starting out, an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) visit can be a daunting process.
Our highly qualified, experienced, professional and approachable food safety consultants can help you implement a wide range of food safety compliance solutions.
At PCF Training & Consultancy Solutions Ltd, we like to build and create good working relationships with clients and work with you (not just for you) to identify any requirements and deliver a solution which meets your specific needs and budget.
When food safety goes wrong there is potential for prosecution or enforcement actions via the EHO / Local Authority. Any media interest can result in a detrimental effect to your business reputation as perceived by customers, and there is potential for customers to become ill or worse, with the additional threat of civil claims.
The Food Standards Agency rating scheme is ranked from 5-0:
5 – hygiene standards are very good
4 – hygiene standards are good
3 – hygiene standards are generally satisfactory
2 – some improvement is necessary
1 – major improvement is necessary
0 – urgent improvement is required
Don't settle for anything less than a 5-star rating. Choose PCF Training and Consultancy Solutions Ltd. and watch your business thrive!
