Self assessment for low risk food businesses
Self assessment questionnaires instead of inspections for low risk food businesses.
Until recently the Council has been obliged to inspect each and every food business as part of its food safety programme. Low risk food businesses now have the option to fill in a self assessment questionnaire.
- Home caterer self assessment questionnaire (online form)
- Home caterer self assessment questionnaire (pdf)
- Retail questionnaire (pdf)
- Guest house questionnaire (pdf)
- Village/church halls and clubs questionnaire (pdf)
For more information see our 'Frequently Asked Questions' leaflet (pdf).
Low risk businesses are currently determined by a risk rating scheme.
The premises that fall into the low risk premises are classed as category E.
To validate this arrangement we will need to inspect a small, random sample of businesses and officers will still have the right to enter any food business at "all reasonable hours" e.g. during opening hours.
