CookSafe : Food Safety Assurance System (2nd ed. (2012))

CookSafe is a guidance to help the catering sector comply with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) requirements of food safety legislation.

Its development drew upon expertise from the catering sector, Local Authorities and the Scottish Food Advisory Committee.

Today CookSafe is used in over 35,000 catering establishments and has proven to be a valuable resource, building on existing good practice, raising food safety standards and in doing so, better protecting consumers.

During 2011- 2012 the Agency issued updated advice on cross contamination prevention.

Three of the House Rules in CookSafe have been updated from the original 2005 version to introduce this new advice - Personal Hygiene, Cleaning and Cross Contamination Prevention.

This version of CookSafe (version 1.2) includes all these new sections.
