Food Hygiene

On 1 January 2006 food hygiene legislation changed across Europe. The new regulations consolidate and simplify the existing legislation and most requirements have not changed. The main change is the need for some food operations to have a documented food safety management system. The amount of documentation will depend on the size and nature of the operation. Activities such as the occasional preparation of food by individuals or groups for gatherings or for sale at charitable events are excluded.

At a recent inspection (September 2009) by Dartford Council, our kitchen facilities were found to be suitable for the day to day use of the church.
