Maintaining high standards of hygiene is not only a legal requirement – it’s essential to consumer safety and brand integrity. Phoenix Food Consultancy supports food businesses in achieving outstanding hygiene standards through expert assessment, system optimisation, and operational best practice.
Food safety begins with a clean and controlled environment. Pathogenic micro-organisms such as Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E. coli pose a serious risk to consumers if hygiene standards fall short. Proper hygiene practices are essential to minimise contamination risk and protect both the public and your brand.
Regulations including (EC) No 852/2004 mandate that food premises, equipment, and contact surfaces be kept clean, disinfected, and maintained. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action, recalls, or serious reputational harm.
Phoenix Food Consultancy delivers expert assessments of your cleaning systems, operational hygiene, and environmental control measures. We identify weaknesses, provide practical recommendations, and help raise hygiene standards across your site.
No two food businesses are the same. We assess your hygiene systems in context – considering your production flow, product type, equipment, and risk profile – to deliver bespoke recommendations that enhance safety and meet regulatory and customer standards.
Full walkthrough inspections to assess hygiene practices, cleaning regimes, and environmental control measures.
Risk-rated reports and action plans based on observed practices and documentation.
Support to review and refine hygiene practices on an ongoing basis for long-term compliance and performance.
