Food safety self-assessment
The food safety self-assessment asks about your food business and how you manage food safety.
It takes about 10 minutes to complete.
Why we ask you to complete a self-assessment
Self-assessment questionnaires are an important part of how we work with low-risk food businesses.
They help us:
- stay in contact with local, low-risk food businesses
- understand how you manage your food activity and food safety
- check whether anything has changed as your business develops
- decide whether we need to visit your business
This helps us meet food law and code of practice guidance.
What happens after you submit your self-assessment
We will log your answers and review the information you provide.
If your business activity has not changed much since we last contacted you, and your business is still low risk, we will not contact you until your next inspection date. This will usually be in about 3 years.
If we need more information, or we think we need to visit your business, we will contact you.
