What Food Hygiene Signs do you need for your UK catering business?

The food hygiene signs you need for your business in the UK will depend on the specific type of food business you operate. However, some common food hygiene signs that you may need include:

  • Hand washing signs: These signs should be placed in prominent locations near sinks and other hand washing areas. They should remind employees of the importance of hand washing and provide instructions on how to wash their hands properly.
  • Food safety signs: These signs should be placed in areas where food is prepared, cooked, and served. They should remind employees of the importance of food safety and provide instructions on how to handle food safely.
  • Allergen signs: These signs should be placed in areas where food is served and should list all of the allergens that are present in the food. This is required by law in the UK to help your customers make informed choices about what they eat.
  • Temperature signs: These signs should be placed in food storage, preparation and cooking areas. They should remind employees of the safe temperatures at which food should be stored, prepared, and cooked.
  • Cleaning and disinfection signs: These signs should be placed in areas where food is prepared, cooked, and served. They should remind employees of the importance of cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and equipment to prevent the spread of foodborne illness.

In addition to these general food hygiene signs, you may also need to display more specific signs depending on the type of food business you operate. For example, if you operate a restaurant, you may need to display signs warning customers of allergens in the food. If you operate a food manufacturing facility, you may need to display signs warning employees of specific hazards, such as chemical hazards or biological hazards.

When choosing and displaying food hygiene signs, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The type of food business you operate: Make sure that the food hygiene signs are appropriate for the type of food business you operate and the specific hazards present.
  • The location of the signs: Place food hygiene signs in prominent locations where employees and customers are likely to see them.
  • The wording of the signs: The wording of the signs should be clear and concise. Avoid using technical terms that people may not understand.
  • The visibility of the signs: Make sure that the signs are well-lit, especially at night.
  • The condition of the signs: Keep the signs free of debris and obstructions. Inspect signs regularly to make sure that they are in good condition and that they are effective.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your employees and customers are aware of the food hygiene requirements in your business and that they are taking the necessary precautions to prevent foodborne illness.
