Heather Landex | EU’s 360° innovator in consumer food safety
If you own a food outlet, which means any food business which serves food to the consumer, customer or client, including cafes, restaurants, hotels, street food, take away, canteens, events and conference venues, community centers, education or care institutions, public institutions with food outlets…
… you need to anticipate the needs of your customers. Food safety is the foundation of any food business just as food is the basic need of a human life.
Food safety, awareness and proper control of allergies and dietary preferences (such as vegan food), is the best way to future-proof your business by building a brand that inspires confidence and customer loyalty.
Other important reasons to have a robust Food Safety Management System:
The legal framework covering Food Safety is complex and food authorities have power (enforcement power similar to the police). This is what the relevant authorities can do to your business when failing to comply:
- Close down your business
- Fine the Food Business Operator, whether owner or manager
- Seize goods, both food and equipment
- Prosecute and even imprison the FBO
Running an establishment which is compliant, guaranteed safe and allergy aware gives you confidence and the freedom to pursue innovation of your concept, and immerse in your passion.
Build a community of satisfied loyal customers that recognise your unique value and grow organically through word of mouth reviews.
These are the 3 main reasons to have a robust Food Safety Management System
