Safer Food Better Business: The Complete SFBB Guide

Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is the food safety management system designed by the Food Standards Agency for small and medium UK food businesses. It is based on HACCP principles but simplified into a practical pack that any food business can follow without specialist training. SFBB is the most widely used food safety system in UK hospitality - used by restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs, care homes, childminders, and mobile caterers. EHO inspectors expect to see a completed, up-to-date SFBB pack (or equivalent) at every inspection. Your "confidence in management" score - one of the three areas that determines your food hygiene rating - depends heavily on having a working SFBB system. This guide explains every aspect of SFBB: what the pack contains, how to complete each section, what goes in the diary, how SFBB compares to HACCP, and how digital SFBB systems can replace the paper pack. Each article includes practical guidance and what EHO inspectors actually look for.
