It has finally hit my area - the council have woken up and are now insisting that all us CM's register as a Food Business....
Went to a briefing tonight with the Environmental Health Man who was ok (he really didn't want to be there - his word was law and you felt anything you had to say or ask was wasting his time) BUT it was pretty informative - got the pack Safer Food Better Business - good pack actually and its free and you can order one from here

www.food.gov.uk or 0845 606 0667

Enjoy (and it ties in with yoru Risk Assessments / EYFS requirements)

Wonder why it takes so long in some areas

I had to register in December 2006

So does that mean you have an EHO inspector coming round doing inspections like they would in the kitchen of a hotel for example?

Well I have never had anyone visit

They said that wont happen

Not sure about other areas though - everyone seems to be different

Well I'm glad about that - dh has been a chef for over 20 years and I know from him that eho inspectors can be worse than than some of the ofsted inspectors that are mentioned on here!

What's the reason for having to be registered as a food business though if they don't then inspect you for it?
