HACCP & Food Safety Management

Tailored HACCP & Food Safety Systems

At Food Protect, we support catering and hospitality establishments to create truly bespoke Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and food safety management systems that reflect the size and nature of their business.

Our Approach

Businesses are legally required to:

  • Produce food that is safe to eat and not harmful to public health or unfit for consumption.
  • Implement food safety management procedures based on HACCP principles (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and maintain food safety records.

Food Protect can assist you in meeting these requirements by:

  • Conducting a gap analysis of your current systems or requirements – ideal for both established and new businesses.
  • Using the findings from the gap analysis to develop tailored and user-friendly HACCP plans and food safety policy. Our documentation incorporates best practice, ensuring full compliance with all relevant UK legislation.
  • Provide guidance on company-wide training needs to guarantee legal compliance.
Case study

HACCP & Food Safety Management System for a Multi-Site Contract Catering Business

A multi-site contract catering business had an off-the-shelf HACCP and food safety management system that was too generic and failed to cover their full range of operations. As a result, the system was never used effectively.

Our Strategy

1. Gap Analysis
We conducted site visits to understand the operation and analysed the existing documentation and procedures to ascertain the gaps in information.

2. System Updates
We created a bespoke food safety management system that reflected exactly what the business did. The new system was designed to be practical, easy to understand, and simple to implement.

3. Site-Specific Training
Our consultants developed and delivered training on the new systems to the senior operators, with one-to-one support provided for site managers as required.

The Impact

Staff and leadership gained increased food safety awareness and greater confidence in their day-to-day practices. They developed a deeper understanding of food safety principles through targeted, site-specific training. Senior operators were empowered with practical tools to lead by example and ensure team-wide compliance. Managers received one-to-one support, allowing them to clarify site-specific responsibilities and expectations. They can now clearly explain and defend their food safety processes during audits and inspections.

The bespoke system provides clear, practical guidance aligned with how the business actually operates. This alignment has reduced confusion, improved consistency, and strengthened accountability across sites.

Staff feel more engaged and responsible for maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety. Overall, the business has fostered a proactive food safety culture backed by systems that are easy to understand and apply.
