EHO Insider
Food safety tips directly from an EHO, every Tuesday.
Practical food safety tips and real EHO stories to help you understand what inspectors are looking for, feel more prepared for your next inspection and start thinking like an EHO.
Hi, I’m Natalie, a Chartered Environmental Health Officer.
After years working in local government, I know inspections can feel uncertain, stressful and sometimes a bit intimidating.
My aim with this newsletter is to make them feel a lot less mysterious.
Every Tuesday, I’ll share one of two things:
EHO Stories
Real experiences from my years working as a local authority EHO, including the things I saw, the questions I asked and the lessons food businesses can take from them.
1-Minute Food Safety Check
A quick, practical check you can carry out in your business that week.
Each one focuses on a specific area, such as your hand wash sink, fridges, freezers, cleaning or storage, with a short checklist of what to look for and what an EHO is likely to notice.
The idea is simple: spend a few minutes every Tuesday checking one small part of your business.
Do that every week and, before long, you’ll have worked your way through a full internal food safety inspection without it ever feeling like a huge task.
Think of it as a look behind the curtain.
I want to help you understand what EHOs are thinking, what they’re looking for and how you can prepare with more confidence.
