What are Food Hygiene Policies?

Food hygiene policies outline how organisations manage the safe handling, preparation, storage and serving of food to protect public health and comply with legal requirements.

Poor food hygiene can lead to contamination, food poisoning and reputational damage. A clear policy ensures that employees understand safe practices, legal responsibilities and the importance of maintaining high standards of cleanliness.

What Do Food Hygiene Policies Cover?

A food hygiene policy typically includes:

• Personal hygiene requirements for staff, including handwashing and protective clothing

• Safe food storage practices, such as temperature control and separation of raw and cooked foods

• Procedures for cleaning and sanitising equipment, surfaces and utensils

• Waste disposal arrangements to prevent contamination

• Allergen management and labelling requirements

• Pest control measures and regular inspections

• Training and competence requirements for staff involved in food handling

• Record-keeping of cleaning schedules, temperature checks and inspections

• Links to health and safety, personal hygiene and risk management policies

A clear food hygiene policy helps ensure staff understand their role in maintaining safe food handling practices and protecting customers from harm.

It also ensures compliance with the Food Safety Act 1990 and the Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006, as well as guidance from the Food Standards Agency.

By embedding good food hygiene practices into daily operations, organisations can safeguard health, maintain legal compliance and build trust with customers and stakeholders.
