    Default Enviromental health

    So I've got my visit from environmental health on Tuesday morning and no idea what to expect?! Im in Scotland if that makes a difference? Been registered s good few years and that's them just getting round to visiting me. What exactly are they looking for/at?? I don't do cooked meals - just cold lunches, snacks.h kitchen is clean but starting to wonder if if 'environmental health clean' lol!!! Will they look through every cupboard etc?? Starting to panic a bit eek!!!

    Do not panic...here in England some CMs get a visit while others just a form which we fill in with details

    Scotland has different requirements from us...so difficult to advise but you will be asked basic questions on hygiene, food storage, fridge temperature etc etc ...regardless of whether you cook or not

    Good luck

    Make sure you have a fridge thermometer and temp records. Good to show them how you store your food xx
