The 1-Minute Food Safety Check

I’ve been on the other side of the inspection.
For 10 years, I was the EHO walking through the door, inspecting hundreds of food businesses across 6 local authorities. I saw the good, the bad and everything in between.
My mission is to make food safety clearer, more practical and far less intimidating for the people running and working in hospitality. I share the knowledge usually hidden behind the inspection process, so chefs, managers and food business owners can understand what good practice looks like and put it into action every day.
I’m here to help you think like an EHO, protect your customers and feel more confident about your next inspection.
