 The Food Standards Agency held an online event with local authorities on 25 May 2023. This was recorded and we have converted it into an "on-demand" webinar.

At the event they outlined their proposed developments for the food hygiene delivery model, which include:

• a modernised food hygiene intervention rating scheme, including a decision matrix to determine the appropriate frequency of these controls based on the risk posed by a food business
• an updated risk-based approach to the timescales for initial official controls of new food establishments, and for undertaking due official controls
• increased flexibility as to the methods and techniques of official controls that can be used to risk rate an establishment, including the appropriate use of remote assessment
• extending the activities that officers, such as Regulatory Support Officers, who do not hold a ‘suitable qualification’ for food hygiene can, if competent, undertake

After watching the webinar please complete the short quiz to obtain a Certificate which will then become available in your "Certificates" folder.
