Posted By Ron Hunter You could try bics.org.uk? I see they offer a VQ specifically aimed at cleaning in food premises.

Posted By Adrian Clifton Have a look at the CIEH website for Safer Food Better Business (SFBB).This is the latest, updated legislation. Are your chemicals food safe? Info is on Safety Data Sheets and product pakaging (keep away from foodstuffs and preparation surfaces). If your chemicals are not food safe then they shouldn't be in the same area to prevent cross contamination/tainting. Incidently, the SFBB Pack is available free (WHAT!!!) of charge to all small to medium sized enterprises. Adrian

Posted By Bill Elliott Foodstuffs and non foodstuffs should not be stored in the same location. The intention of the legislation is to ensure avoidance of cross contamination, chemical contamination, taint etc. There should be sufficient storage available that allows for complete segregation. "Raw materials and ingredients stored in the establishment shall be kept in appropriate conditions designed to protect harmful deterioration and to protect them from contamination" " All food.... shall be protected against any contamination likely to render the food unfit, injurious to health or contaminated in such a way that it would be unreasonable to expect it to be consumed..."

Posted By Adrian Clifton Forgetting my manners. For our fellow professionals north of the border, the Food Standarda Agency (FSA) have produced a Scottish version called; CookSafe, Food Safety Assurance System (FSAS). This again is available free of charge. Adrian
