Ensuring food safety is paramount for any business that processes and serves food, so make sure your facility meets all local health and sanitation regulations. Properly maintain your equipment, label food items with expiration dates and safety warning labels where appropriate, ensure thorough staff training in cross-contamination prevention and safe handling practices, practice regular cleaning and sanitization of the premises in accordance to health code standards, employ a pest control expert who uses approved methods of control, keep a close eye on improper storage or preparation of food items with allergens such as peanuts or dairy products.

To avoid being caught by regulatory authorities, you should contact your local food safety regulatory body to inquire about what license and permits you need. Additionally, ensure that all food processes and products meet proper safety standards set forth by regulations. Implement a good food hygiene management system such as the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach or other recognized systems. Finally, conduct regular auditing procedures to ensure continuous compliance with all relevant food regulations and legislations.
