Food legislation is complex, ever-evolving, and legally binding. Phoenix Food Consultancy helps food businesses navigate UK and EU regulations with confidence – ensuring full compliance across operations, documentation, labelling, traceability, and hygiene practices.
Food businesses are required by law to operate within a framework of national and EU legislation covering every stage of the supply chain – from production and processing to packaging, labelling, distribution, and retail. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, reputational damage, product recalls, or prosecution.
Regulations such as (EC) No 178/2002 and (EC) No 852/2004, as well as UK-specific enforcement through FSA, EHO, and local authorities, place a legal responsibility on food businesses to demonstrate due diligence, traceability, hygiene, and consumer safety.
With extensive experience managing legislative compliance for businesses of all sizes, Phoenix Food Consultancy offers informed, practical support to help you understand your legal obligations, implement appropriate controls, and prepare confidently for inspections and audits.

Advice and support tailored to UK/EU regulations, GFSI standards, and customer technical policies.
Full audit of your procedures, records, and policies to ensure compliance and traceability.
We don’t just tell you what’s wrong - we help you fix it with realistic and achievable action plans.
