What Can Your Commercial Kitchen Cleanliness Cost You?

If your business plays host to a commercial kitchen, then the duty lies with you to ensure the health and safety of employees and customers alike. Dirty and hygienic environments can lead to customers becoming sick, or injuries occurring due to unsanitary floors. Not only does this present you with a potential legal problem, it presents you with the possibility with the collapse of the business. As well as the cost involved in a legal case, the threat of being shut down by health authorities either temporarily or permanently - the damage it can have on the reputation of your business has always had an enormous impact. However, with the rise of social media, it means that bad news can travel faster. As a business owner, the likelihood is that you are very busy already, you don’t have precious time or energy to waste on defending your business.
The Food Standards Agency claims that the 2 most important food hygiene regulations for a business are;
- Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs
- The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006 (as amended) (and equivalent regulations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)*
- Hygiene Improvement Notice
- Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice
