New food safety legislation now requires all catering food businesses to write and operate a food safety management policy because these policies significantly raise the standard of food safety and reduce the risk of food poisoning to a minimum.
Safer Food Better Business (SFBB) is an excellent food safety management system and Oldham Council was awarded a grant to run SFBB workshops to help caterers to implement this system and comply with the law.
After a food business has received training and intensive mentoring from Food Safety Officers they are assessed to strict criteria before they can be awarded a Safer Food Better Business Certificate. This certificate can be displayed on the premises to inform customers of the premises' wholehearted commitment to food safety.
On August 29th 2006, the Mayor of Oldham presented the first awards to 33 hardworking businesses that have made food safety their priority. Since then, many more businesses have followed suit.
We have compiled a record of all these businesses for you to view online. To make it easier for you to search for a particular business premises, we have divided the businesses on the list into ten types:
