The rise is small catering businesses being run from people’s homes is an exciting industry development, helped along by social media and the technology of online ordering.
With increasing numbers of people preparing food at home to be consumed by the public we need to put more emphasis on food safety. A lot of people ask what they need to be able to bake cakes, bread or other food, for consumption by the general public. In order to turn your kitchen into a place where food is supplied to the public, you will need to adhere to the local council regulations and have the kitchen registered with them so that they can inspect it and see if it meets the required standards.
To understand how to comply with these regulations, it is strongly advised that those wishing to start a food business complete a Level 2 food hygiene certificate. The certificate covers everything from the correct storage temperatures to the cleaning regimes that would be expected by the council during inspection to meet their standards,
After completing the Level 2 certificate it is recommended that you progress onto the Level 3. This is since if you are running a food business from your own home, you are likely to not only be preparing the food but you will also be managing the food stock. Council regulations state you must have a recognised system for food stock management. Completing the Level 3 food hygiene certificate shows that you have a solid foundation in these important food management skills.
All home food suppliers after graduating from the Level 3 food hygiene certificate will have the ability to prepare food in a safe way that aligns with UK food law. This certificate is industry-recognised and therefore can also give customers peace of mind and confidence in their favourite local home-run catering business.
