Food safety first
Every food business, no matter how small or informal, must follow the prevailing food safety laws to ensure that food is safe for everyone. SFA will take action against those who break these laws.
Here are some ways you can make sure food is safe for consumption for yourself and your group members:
- Always buy from reputable sources, i.e. suppliers that are known to be safe and reliable.
- Before you pass the food to your group members, check it carefully to make sure that the packaging is not damaged.
- Store the food in the right way and at the correct temperature after you receive it. For instance, if the food is to be kept frozen, make sure it remains frozen until it reaches your group members.
