These guidelines were completed in 2024. Since the previous edition in 2009 (1), the UK has
left the EU and this has resulted in transfer of legal responsibility from EU to UK legislation
through Statutory instruments, particularly The Food and Feed Hygiene and Safety
(Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) Regulations 2020: UK Statutory Instrument 2020
Number 1410 (2). The statutory instruments refer to EU legislation, and much remains the same or very similar such as legal obligations for food safety of food business operators and
microbiological criteria. EU references have been updated to reflect the law in force, in all new or amended guidance published since the transition.
