Food Safety Management Plan

About this document

What it’s for

Every food business must have written food safety procedures based on HACCP principles. This plan gives you a full system: your prerequisite hygiene rules, a step-by-step hazard analysis, critical control points with limits, what to check and what to do when something goes wrong, plus verification and records.

When to use it

  • Before you open, or before your first food hygiene inspection
  • To replace an out-of-date or incomplete food safety pack
  • When you change your menu, equipment, suppliers or way of working
