UK FAQ

UK food safety questions answered.

Is a HACCP app legally required for UK food businesses?
+
Yes. Under the Food Safety Act 1990 and retained EU Regulation 852/2004, every UK food business must maintain documented HACCP food safety records. Environmental Health Officers can request these at any unannounced inspection. Failure to maintain adequate records can result in a poor hygiene rating, improvement notice, or prosecution.
What is SFBB and does HACCPapp support it?
+
SFBB (Safer Food Better Business) is the FSA's official food safety management pack for small UK businesses. HACCPapp's opening and closing checklists are directly aligned with the SFBB format, so your digital records match exactly what EHOs expect to see.
What is Natasha's Law and do I need to comply?
+
Natasha's Law (in force since October 2021) requires all food businesses selling pre-packed for direct sale (PPDS) foods — sandwiches, wraps, salads made on premises — to label them with a full ingredient list and allergen information. HACCPapp includes PPDS flagging in the allergen manager so you're fully covered.
How does the FSA food hygiene rating scheme work?
+
EHOs assess food businesses on three areas: hygienic food handling, cleanliness and condition of facilities, and food safety management. The third area — food safety management — is where HACCP records matter most. Complete, organised digital records from HACCPapp directly improve your score in this area.
