Food Hygiene Regulations

All Food Businesses are legally obliged to put into place a Food Safety Management system, based on the principles of HACCP. The FSAI is responsible for enforcing Food Hygiene regulations.

Since 1998, an average of 35 businesses are closed each year for breach of regulations.

Implementing HACCP for Food Safety Management

The preventive approach of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) puts your business in control when it comes to Food Safety Management and Hygiene. HACCP takes into account food production, storage, distribution, sale and consumer service. The main benefits of HACCP are:

  • Saves your business money in the long run
  • Avoids you poisoning your customers
  • Food safety standards increase
  • Ensures you are compliant with the law
  • Food quality standards increase
  • Organises your process to produce safe food
  • Organises your staff promoting teamwork and efficiency
  • Due diligence defence in court

HACCP and Food Hygiene Training

Staff involved in food preparation are shown how to identify and deal with hazards - be they physical, bacterial or food-borne. They are then required to become engaged in actively planning to avoid these problems by conscientiously applying the HACCP principles of a Food Hygiene Program to their everyday work.
